Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on
Ah come on, ah, 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 looking, but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look a girl, yeah, 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)
Ramble (ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man

Yeah, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ha-ha, oh bring it on, calm down
Yeah alright, here we go now, now, now
I'm out of money, 'course you know I need some
Ain't gon' run on lovin', ha I must run
Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you around

'Cause I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Know I'm a ramblin' gamblin' man
Oh, oh, just a rambler
Yeah, yeah, 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 (yeah, I'm a rambler)
Gamblin' man (ha-ha, yeah yeah I'm a rambler)
