Jimmie Dale Gilmore - Ramblin' Man lyrics

rate me

Well I'm your Ramblin' Man and I can lift your latch

I could stay here, Mama, but I got me some trains to catch.

When that cold north wind stops blowing

I'll still be walking the line

You ever see me laughing little lady,

I'm laughing just to keep from crying

I'm your Ramblin' Man and some Christmas time

Won't you hang my holy socks on a midnight line.

Well that mountainside's just gonna sit there

That river's gonna rush on by.

But don't ask me to hang around

I couldn't stay here if I tried

I'm your Ramblin' Man and I can go where I choose

And if you sing me a song, Mama, make it a midnight blues.

Well don't that moon look beautiful, Baby,

Climbing up through the sky?

Well it looks like I'm gonna chase that moon

Mama, 'til the day I die

I'm your Ramblin' Man and there ain't no doubt

I'm gonna hang out late, Mama, with the midnight crowd

Where the silver starlight glistens

On the green mossy banks of time

I'm gonna spend my long nights listening

And looking for a star that's mine

I'm your Ramblin' Man, and 'til I come home

Won't you hang my midnight mail on a rolling stone
