I'm a Ramblin' Man

I'm a Ramblin' Man - Johnny Paycheck/Various Artists

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

Lord I'm a ramblin' man

Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man

Left a girl in West Virginia

Up there where that green grass grows yes I did

Got a girl in Cincinnati

Waitin' where the Ohio River flows poor girl

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 fool around with any ol' ramblin' man

Well up in Chicago

I was known as "Quiet Boy" yes I was

Down in Alabama

They call me "The man of joy" they still do

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 fool around with any ol' ramblin' man
