Til I hear an old train rollindown the line
Then I hurry strai-aight home and pack
And if I didnæ ° go, I believe Iæ blow my stack
I love you ba-aby, but you gotta understand
When the lord made me
He made a ramblin man.
Some folks might sa-ay that Iæ ¦ no good
That I wouldnæ ° settle down if I could
But when that open ro-oad starts to callinme
Thereæ ¯ somethinoæ r the hill that I gotta see
Sometimes itæ ¯ har-rd but you gotta understand
When the lord made me, he made a ra-amblinman.
I love to see the tow-owns a-passinby
And to ride these rails æ §eath godæ ¯ blue sky
Let me travel this la-and from the mountains to the sea
Æ ause thatæ ¯ the life I believe he meant for me
And when Iæ ¦ go-one and at my grave you stand
Just say God called home your ra-amblinman.
