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'tLord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' manLeft 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 girlI'm a ramblin' man
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' manYou'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 sameLord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fool around with any ol' ramblin' manWell, up in Chicago
I was known as "Quiet Boy", yes I was
Down in Alabama
They call me "The man of joy", they still doLord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' manYou'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 sameLord, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fool around with any ol' ramblin' man
