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 grass 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
