(I've been a-ramblin', ramblin')

I've been ramblin'
Lord, I've been ramblin'
I've been north, south, east, west, all up and down the line
I've been waitin', anticipatin'
Lookin' for the sun to shine

(I've been a-ramblin', ramblin')

Kansas City, New Orleans
Just like an ol' muddy river, I gotta roll along
I gotta ramble, I gotta ramble
I gotta sing my lonely song

(I've been a-ramblin', ramblin')

I had a woman (had a woman)
Once I had a woman (yes a pretty woman)
She was the truest woman this world will ever see
Oh well, I loved her, yes I loved her
And she was true to everyone
But me (poor boy)

(I've been a-ramblin', ramblin')
Trains are comin' (trains are comin')
My trains are comin' (trains are comin')
Can't you hear that lonesome whistle moanin' down the track
I gotta ramble, I gotta ramble
I got a feelin' that I won't be back

(I've been a-ramblin', ramblin') (poor boy)

I gotta ramble on
I'm movin' north and south, all up and down the line
Yes, I'm ramblin'

(I've been a-ramblin', ramblin') (poor boy)
(I've been a-ramblin', ramblin') (poor boy)
(Repeat and fade out)
