Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale, come on
A come on, ha, a give a listen

'Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels and throw dice
I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam

Ain't good lookin', but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look you girl, hey, in the eye
So if you need some lovin' and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay

But I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
Gamble (Gamblin' man)
Got to, got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin', gamblin' man

Yeah, uh, say, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hah, hah
A bring it on, come on now
Yeah, alright, here we go now

Now, I'm out of money, 'cause you know I need some
Ain't gonna run on lovin', and I must run
Gotta keep movin', never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you 'round

'Cause I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I got to gamble (Gamblin' man)
Yeah, I, I, got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
Yeah, Lord, I'm a ramblin', gamblin' man

Oh, I'm just a rambler
Yeah, yeah, I'm just a gambler
Come on and sing along
'Cause I'm just a rambler (Ramblin' man)
Yeah, Lord, I'm a gambler (Gamblin' man)
Yeah, rambler (Ramblin' man)
Yeah, I'm a rambler (Gamblin' man)
Yeah, I'm a rambler (Ramblin' man)
Oh (Gamblin' man)
