I'm A Ramblin' Man Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Songwriters: Pennington, Ray;

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

Lord, 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
