Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can.
And when it's time for leavin',
I hope you'll understand,
That I was born a ramblin' man.

My father was a gambler down in Georgia,
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun.
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus,
Rollin' down highway 41.

Chorus

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin',
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee.
They're always having a good time down on the bayou.
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me.

Chorus

[repeat and fade]
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...
