[Verse]
CBeen down through Mississippi,
Down through New Orleans.
Played Fout in California, 
There ain't too much I haven't Cseen.
I'm a Gramblin' man, don't fool around with a ramblin' Cman.
[Verse]
CMet a girl in West Virginia,
Up where the green grass grows, yes I did.
Got a Fgirl in Cincinatti,
Waiting where that Ohio river Cflows.
I'm a Gramblin' man, don't give your heart to a ramblin' Cman.
[Chorus]
You'd better Fmove away,
You're standing too close to the Cflame.
Once I Fmess with your mind,
Your little heart won't be the Csame.
I'm a Gramblin' man, don't mess around with a ramblin' Cman.
[Instrumental]
F    C    F    C    G    C
[Verse]
Well up in Chicago, 
I was known as quite a boy, I still am too.
FDown in Alabama,
They call me the man of Cjoy, yes they do.
I'm a Gramblin' man, don't fall in love with a ramblin' Cman.
[Chorus]
You'd better Fmove away,
You're standing too close to the Cflame.
Once I Fmess with your mind,
Your little heart won't be the Csame.
I'm a Gramblin' man, don't mess around with a ramblin' Cman.
I'm a Gramblin' man, don't mess around with a ramblin' Cman.

[Verse]

Been down through Mississippi,

Down through New Orleans.

Played out in California,

There ain't too much I haven't seen.

G C

I'm a ramblin' man, don't fool around with a ramblin' man.

[Verse]

Met a girl in West Virginia,

Up where the green grass grows, yes I did.

Got a girl in Cincinatti,

Waiting where that Ohio river flows.

G C

I'm a ramblin' man, don't give your heart to a ramblin' man.

[Chorus]

You'd better move away,

You're standing too close to the flame.

Once I mess with your mind,

Your little heart won't be the same.

G C

I'm a ramblin' man, don't mess around with a ramblin' man.

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

Well up in Chicago,

I was known as quite a boy, I still am too.

Down in Alabama,

They call me the man of joy, yes they do.

G C

I'm a ramblin' man, don't fall in love with a ramblin' man.

[Chorus]

You'd better move away,

You're standing too close to the flame.

Once I mess with your mind,

Your little heart won't be the same.

G C

I'm a ramblin' man, don't mess around with a ramblin' man.

G C

I'm a ramblin' man, don't mess around with a ramblin' man.
