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
