I'm A Ramblin' Man

I've been down to Mississippi
Down through New Orléans
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 the ramblin' man

(Chorus)
You better move away
You're standing too close to the flame
Once I mess with your mind
Your little ol' heart won't be the same
But I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with your 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
Oh, girl
I'm a ramblin' man
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man


(Chorus)
You better move away
You're standing too close to the flame
Once I mess with your mind
Your little ol' heart won't be the same
But I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with your ramblin' man

~ Instrumental Break ~

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 the ramblin' man

(Chorus)
You better move away
You're standing too close to the flame
Once I mess with the ol' mind
Your little ol' heart won't be the same
But I'm a ramblin' man
Don't mess around with your ramblin' man

Oh, yeah
