   PM
[Verse 1]
          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
Lord, I'm a ramblin' man,

            G7                    C
Don't fool around with a ramblin' man.
[Verse 2]
       C
Left a girl in West Virginia,
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.

             G   C
Better not!
[Verse 3]
      C
Well, up in Chicago,
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.
