-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!

Verse 3
      F
Well, up in Chicago,
                      C
I was known as "Quiet Boy,"

Yes, I was!
   F
Down in Alabama,
                         C
They call me "The man of joy,"

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