| Yeah, I’m gonna tell my tale come on Come on, give a listen |
| Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside |
| Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice |
| And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home |
| Knew I couldn’t stick around, I had to roam |
| Ain’t good looking, but you know I ain’t shy |
| Ain’t afraid to look a girl, 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) |
| Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man) |
| Got to got to ramble (ramblin' man) |
| I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man |
| Yeah yeah yeah |
| Yeah alright here we go now now |
| I hope you got money, I’m sure gonna need some |
| I ain’t around to love you now, and I gotta run |
| Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down |
| You can have your funky world, see you 'round |
| (repeat chorus) |
