I've been down to Mississippi, down to New Orleans, yes I have, but up in California ain't too much that I haven't seen, no they 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 the green grass grows, yes I did, got a girl in Cincinnati waitin' where the Ohio River flows, I'm a ramblin' man, don't give your heart to a ramblin' man, bet you better move away, you're standin' too close to the flame, once I mess with your mind, your little heart won't beat the same, Lord I'm a ramblin' man, don't mess around with any ramblin' man, well way up in Chicago I was known as Prada boy, yes I still am, down in Alabama they call me a man of joy, still do, I'm a ramblin' man, don't fall in love with a ramblin' man, you better move away, you're standin' too close to the flame, once I mess with your mind, your little heart won't beat the same, well I'm a ramblin' man, don't mess around with any old ramblin' man.
