I'm A Ramblin' Man - Outlaws

I've been down the Mississippi, 
Down through New Orleans, 
Yes, I have.
I've played in California, 
There ain't too much I haven't seen.
No, there ain't.
Well, I'm a ramblin' man, 
Don't fool around with a ramblin' man.

Left a girl in West Virginia, 
Up there where that green grass grows, 
Yes, I did.
Another girl in Cincinnati, 
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, 
Poor girl! 
I'm a ramblin' man, 
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man.

You'd 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 ol' ramblin' man.
Better not! 

Well, up in Chicago, 
I was known as "Quiet Boy,"
Yes, I was! 
Down in Alabama, 
They call me "The man of joy,"
Still do! 
Well, I'm a ramblin' man, 
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man.

You'd 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 ol' ramblin' man.
