Song title: Waylon Jennings - (I'm A) Ramblin' Man

Edit By: 216.73.216.251

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.

(Fade.)
