I’m a Ramblin Man Songtext
von Waylon Jennings & Willie Nelson

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 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
Oh, girl
I′m a ramblin' man
Don′t give your heart to a ramblin' man


You better move away
You're standing too close to the plain
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 within your ramblin' man
You 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 better move away
You′re standing too close to the plain
Once I mess with the ol' mind
Your little ol′ heart won't be the same
Oh, I′m a ramblin' man
Don′t mess around with any ol' ramblin' man
