Lonnie Johnson - Rambler's Blues (1942) lyrics

rate me

I’m a roamin’ rambler, my home is in no one place.

I’m a roamin’ rambler, my home is in no one place.

And I’ll find a sweet, brown skinned woman that really fills my empty space.

I’m known as a rambler, I’m known in every man’s town.

I’m the only rambler, I’m known in every man’s town.

Even the little birds begin weepin’, when that evenin’ sun goes down.

The judges all knows me as a man with a smilin’ face.

The judges all knows me as a man with a smilin’ face.

And there’s no other one can ever take my place.

I’m a roamin’ man, and my home is in no one man’s town.

I’m a roamin’ man, and my home is in no one man’s town.

The kids all cry and the women scream, when that evenin’ sun goes down.

I never had a woman that I couldn’t get her back again.

I never had a woman that I couldn’t get her back again.

I can get the best woman that ever was and I don’t have to be in my gin.
