I'M A RAMBLIN' MAN

written by Ray Pennington

performed by Waylon Jennings

tab transcribed by Collins Crapo

C / / / 2 / / /

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

G

Well, I'm a ramblin' man

G7 C

Don't fool around with a ramblin' man

Verse 2:

Left a girl in West Virginia

Up there where that green grass grows, yes I did

Another girl in Cincinnati

Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, poor girl

I'm a ramblin' man

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 be the same

G

Well I'm a ramblin' man

G7 C

Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man

Verse 3:

Well, up in Chicago

I was known as Quiet Boy, yes I was

Down in Alabama

They call me the man of joy, still do

Well, I'm a ramblin' man

Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man

(chorus)

(play C and fade)
