Well I`m your Ramblin` Man and I can lift your latch
I could stay here, Mama, but I got me some trains to catch.
When that cold north wind stops blowing
I`ll still be walking the line
You ever see me laughing little lady,
I`m laughing just to keep from crying
I`m your Ramblin` Man and some Christmas time
Won`t you hang my holy socks on a midnight line.
Well that mountainside`s just gonna sit there
That river`s gonna rush on by.
But don`t ask me to hang around
I couldn`t stay here if I tried
I`m your Ramblin` Man and I can go where I choose
And if you sing me a song, Mama, make it a midnight blues.
Well don`t that moon look beautiful, Baby,
Climbing up through the sky?
Well it looks like I`m gonna chase that moon
Mama, `til the day I die
I`m your Ramblin` Man and there ain`t no doubt
I`m gonna hang out late, Mama, with the midnight crowd
Where the silver starlight glistens
On the green mossy banks of time
I`m gonna spend my long nights listening
And looking for a star that`s mine
I`m your Ramblin` Man, and `til I come home
Won`t you hang my midnight mail on a rolling stone
