Jimmie Dale Gilmore Ramblin Man Lyrics

Ramblin Man Lyrics

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
