Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale, come on
Ah-come on, hah
I 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
[Chorus]
But I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
Gamble (Gamblin' man)
Got to, got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I, I was born a ramblin' (Gamblin' man)
[Chorus]
Yeah, uh, say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, hah, ha
Oh, bring it on, come now
Yeah, alright, here we go now
[Verse 2]
Now, now I'm outta money, 'cause you know I need some
Ain't gon' run on lovin', and I must run
Gotta keep movin', never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you 'round
[Chorus]
'Cause I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
Got, got, I got to gamble, yeah, come on (Gamblin' man)
I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
Lord, I'm a ramblin' (Gamblin' man)
Oh, I'm just a rambler
Yeah, and I'm just a gambler
Come on and sing along
'Cause I'm just a rambler (Ramblin' man)
Lord, I'm a gambler (Gamblin' man)
I'm a rambler (Ramblin' man)
I'm a rambler (Gamblin' man)
