I was known as "Quiet Boy", yes I was
They call me "The man of joy", they still do
I'm a ramblin' man
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Down through New Orleans, yes I have
Don't fool around with any ol' ramblin' man
Once I mess with your mind
Up there where that green grass grows, yes I did
You're standin' too close to the flame
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
You're standin' too close to the flame
Don't fool around with any ol' ramblin' man

I've been down the Mississippi
There ain't too much I haven't seen, no there ain't
You'd better move away
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Left a girl in West Virginia
Down in Alabama
Well, up in Chicago
You'd better move away
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, poor girl
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man
Songwriter: Ray Pennington
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man
Your little heart won't beat the same
I've played in California
Once I mess with your mind
Got a girl in Cincinnati
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man
Your little heart won't beat the same
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
