Roaming Rambler Blues

I’m a roamin' rambler, I ramble and roam everywhere.
I’m a roamin' rambler, I roam and ramble everywhere.
I’ve roamed on every railroad, without a nickel fare.
My mammy named me, «Rambler,» I’ll tell you why, I was told.
My mammy named me, «Rambler,» I’ll tell you why, I was told.
Because I started to ramblin', when I was only two years old.
I got a gal in Texas, I got gals in Tennessee.
I’ve got gals in Texas, I’ve got gals in Tennessee.
There’s a hundred those fashions, waitin' for this rambler’s keep.
I never had a woman, I couldn’t get her back again.
I never had a woman, I couldn’t get her back again.
‘Cause they want a ramblin' man, and not no monkey men.
The judges all knows me, they knows me as a ramblin' man.
The judges all knows me, knows me as a ramblin' man.
When they put me in jail, I gets out on a ‘stallments plan.
