CHORUS
[Chorus] 
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, 
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. 
And when it's 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. 

CHORUS 

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. 

CHORUS 

[Repeat and Fade] 
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...
