Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man<\/span>
\nTryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can<\/span>
\nAnd when it’s time for leavin’<\/span>
\nI hope you’ll understand<\/span>
\nThat I was born a ramblin’ man<\/span><\/p>\n

My father was a gambler down in Georgia<\/span>
\nHe wound up on the wrong end of a gun<\/span>
\nAnd I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus<\/span>
\nRollin’ down highway forty-one<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man<\/span>
\nTryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can<\/span>
\nAnd when it’s time for leavin’<\/span>
\nI hope you’ll understand<\/span>
\nThat I was born a ramblin’ man<\/span><\/p>\n

I’m on my way to New Orleans this mornin’<\/span>
\nI’m leavin’ out of Nashville, Tennessee<\/span>
\nThey’re always having a good time down on the bayou<\/span>
\nLord, them Delta women think the world of me<\/span><\/p>\n

Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man<\/span>
\nTryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can<\/span>
\nAnd when it’s time for leavin’<\/span>
\nI hope you’ll understand<\/span>
\nThat I was born a ramblin’ man<\/span>
\nLord, I was born a ramblin’ man<\/span><\/p>\n
