Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale come on
Uh come on, 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, had to roam

I ain't good lookin', but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look you girl, hey 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

Then I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
Lord, I gotta gamble (Gamblin' man)
Lord, I gotta ramble (ramblin' man)
And I was born a ramblin', gamblin' man, hey

I hope you got money, I'm sure gonna need some
Ain't gonna run on lovin' and I gotta run
I gotta keep movin', never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you 'round

I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I got to gamble (Gamblin' man)
I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin', gamblin' man, oh
Ramblin' man, everybody
Gamblin' man
Ramblin' man, yeah
Gamblin' man
Ramblin' man
Gamblin' man
Alright, yeah
