I’m A Ramblin’ Man

I've been down the Mississippi, Down through New Orleans, Yes, I have. I've played in California, There ain't too much I haven't seen. No, there ain't. Well, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't fool around with a ramblin' man. Left a girl in West Virginia, Up there where that green gra*s grows, Yes, I did. Another girl in Cincinnati, Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, Poor girl! I'm a ramblin' man, Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man. You'd better move away, You're standin' too close to the flame. Once I mess with your mind, Your little heart won't beat the same. Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. Better not! Well, up in Chicago, I was known as "Quiet 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'd better move away, You're standin' too close to the flame. Once I mess with your mind, Your little heart won't beat the same. Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.
