I’m a Ramblin Man

I'M A RAMBLIN' MAN (J.P. PENNINGTON)

I'VE BEEN DOWN TO MISSISSIPPI, DOWN THROUGH NEW ORLEAN
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 CINCINATTI, WAITIN' WHERE THE OHIO RIVER FLOWS
POOR OLE, GIRL
I'M A RAMBLIN' MAN
DON'T GIVE YOUR HEART TO A RAMBLIN' MAN

CHORUS
YOU BETTER MOVE AWAY
YOUR STANDING TO CLOSE TO THE FLAME
ONCE I MESS WITH YOUR MIND
YOUR LITTLE HEART WON'T BE THE SAME
LORD I'M A RAMBLIN' MAN
DON'T MESS AROUND WITH A RAMBLIN' MAN
YOU BETTER NOT

SOLO: VERSE

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

REPEAT CHORUS
(LAST LINE)
DON'T MESS AROUND WITH ANY OLD RAMBLIN' MAN
