Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin'
and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man
Well my father was
a gambler down in Georgia
And he wound up on
the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat
of aGreyhound bus
Rollin' down Highway 41
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin'
and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man
Aw-right!
I'm on my way to
New Orleans this mornin'
Leavin' out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always havin' a good time
down on the bayou
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin'
and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
