Mel Tillis I Went A Ramblin' Lyrics

My work at the factory was not satisfactory,
They said that it lacked sincerity,
So I told them to shove it,
I was above it,
And thought more of my sanity...

Then I went a ramblin' a ramblin' a ramblin'
I went a ramblin' round, round,
From Houston to Beaumont, from Freemont to Clairmont,
I went a ramblin' round.

Well I had me a woman, a home lovin' woman,
With babies, grocery bills and things,
But I left them stranded for their life demanded to much of my time for my brain.

Then I went a ramblin' a ramblin' a ramblin'
I went a ramblin' round, round,
From Shreevesport to Gulfport, from Newport to all ports,
I went a ramblin' round.

(Instrumental)

Well now high the hoe Satan, I hear you been a-waitin'
For me at the end of the line,
But, I've got some living to do for I'm giving you any of my precious time.

So I'll go a ramblin' a ramblin' a ramblin'
I'll go a ramblin' round, round,
From 'Frisco to Reno, Chicago, El Paso,
I'll go ramblin' round.

When my life is finished, My roamin' deminished,
To one journey through eternity,
I'll slip passed the portals and hope the immortal judge of all judges misses me!

Then I'll go a ramblin' a ramblin' a ramblin'
I'll go a ramblin' round, round,
From rose colored mountains to sweet flowing fountains,
I'll go ramblin' round.

Oh, I'll go a ramblin' a ramblin' a ramblin'
I'll go a ramblin' round, round, round,
From rose colored mountains to sweet flowing fountains,
I'll go ramblin' round.
