Roamin Rambler Blues - Lonnie Johnson

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.
