Chorus

Lord I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a living and doing the best I can
When it's time for leaving I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Verse

My father was a gambler down in Georgia
And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus 
Rolling down highway forty-one

Chorus

Lord I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a living and doing the best I can
When it's time for leaving I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Verse

I'm on my way to New Orleans this morning
Leavin' out of Nashville, Tennessee
They're always havin' a good time down on the Bayou, Lord
Them delta women think the world of me

Chorus

Lord I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a living and doing the best I can
When it's time for leaving I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Chorus

Lord I was born a ramblin' man
Lord I was born a ramblin' man
Lord I was born a ramblin' man
Lord I was born a ramblin' man
