Waylon Jennings - Ramblin Man Lyrics

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

Lord, 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
Got a 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 quite a 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
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
