Once I mess with your mind
Up there where that green grass grows, yes I did
I've played in California
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man
Got a girl in Cincinnati
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
There ain't too much I haven't seen, no there ain't
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Your little heart won't beat the same
Don't fool around with any ol' ramblin' man
They call me "The man of joy", they still do
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
Once I mess with your mind
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man
I was known as "Quiet Boy", yes I was
Your little heart won't beat the same
Down in Alabama
You're standin' too close to the flame
Left a girl in West Virginia
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man
You'd better move away
I'm a ramblin' man
You're standin' too close to the flame
