i'm a ramblin' man

i've been down to mississippi

down through new orlean

yes i have

i've played in california

there ain't too much i haven't seen

no there ain't

lord

i'm a ramblin' man

don't fool around with a ramblin' man

left a girl in west virginia

up there where that green grass grows

yes i did

got a girl in cincinatti

waitin' where the ohio river flows

oh

girl

i'm a ramblin' man

don't give your heart to a ramblin' man

you better move away

your standing to close to the flame

once i mess with the ol' mind

your little ol' heart won't be the same

but i'm a ramblin' man

don't mess around within your ramblin' man

you better not

well

up in chicago

i was known as quite a boy

yes i was

down in alabama

they call me the man of joy

still do

well

i'm a ramblin' man

don't fall in love with a ramblin' man

you better move away

your standing to close to the flame

once i mess with the ol' mind

your little ol' heart won't be the same

oh

i'm a ramblin' man

don't mess around with any ol' ramblin man.
