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