Song by Waylon Jennings<br /><br>

I've been down the Mississippi,<br>

Down through New Orleans, <br>

Yes, I have.<br>

I've played in California,<br>

There ain't too much I haven't seen.<br>

No, there ain't. <br>

Well, I'm a ramblin' man,<br>

Don't fool around with a ramblin' man. <br>

Left a girl in West Virginia,<br>

Up there where that green grass grows,<br>

Yes, I did. <br>

Another girl in Cincinnati,<br>

Waitin' where the Ohio River flows,<br>

Poor girl!<br>

I'm a ramblin' man, <br>

Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man.<br>

<br>

You'd better move away,<br>

You're standin' too close to the flame.<br>

Once I mess with your mind,<br>

Your little heart won't beat the same.<br>

Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, <br>

Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.<br>

Better not!<br>

<br>

Well, up in Chicago,<br>

I was known as "Quiet Boy,"<br>

Yes, I was! <br>

Down in Alabama, <br>

They call me "The man of joy,"<br>

Still do!<br>

Well, I'm a ramblin' man,<br>

Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man.<br>

<br>

You'd better move away,<br>

You're standin' too close to the flame.<br>

Once I mess with your mind,<br>

Your little heart won't beat the same.<br>

Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, <br>

Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.<br>

<br>
