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