-verse1-
C
I've been down the Mississippi,
Down through New Orleans,
Yes, I have.
F
I've played in California,
C
There ain't too much I haven't seen.
No, there ain't.
G
Well, I'm a ramblin' man,
G7
Don't fool around with a ramblin' man.
-verse2-
F
Left a girl in West Virginia,
C
Up there where that green grass grows,
Yes, I did.
F
Another girl in Cincinnati,
C
Waitin' where the Ohio River flows,
Poor girl!
G
I'm a ramblin' man,
G7 C
Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man.
-Chorus-
F
You'd better move away,
C
You're standin' too close to the flame.
F
Once I mess with your mind,
C
Your little heart won't beat the same.
G
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man,
G7 C
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.
Better not!

Well, up in Chicago,

I was known as "Quiet Boy,"

Down in Alabama,

They call me "The man of joy,"
Still do!

Well, I'm a ramblin' man,
G7 C
Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man

You'd better move away,
C
You're standin' too close to the flame.
F
Once I mess with your mind,
C
Your little heart won't beat the same.
G
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man,
G7 C
Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man.
Better not!
