Lyric Roaming Rambler Blues (1927)

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.
