I've been down to Mississippi
Down through New Orleans
I played in California
Ain't too much I haven't seen
Alright
Well, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fool around with any ol' ramblin' man
Left a girl in West Virginia
Up there where that green grass grows
Yeah, I did
Another girl in Cincinnati
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows
Yeah, girl
Well, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man
Well, you better move away
You're standing too close to the flame
Once I mess with your mind
Your little heart won't be the same
Oh, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man
Well, up there in Chicago
I was known as Quiet Boy
And down in Alabama
They call me the Man of Joy
Still do
I'm a ramblin' man
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man
Well, you better move away
You're standing too close to the flame
Once I mess with your mind,
Your little heart won't be the same
Oh, I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man
