Yeah, gonna tell my tale 
Come on, 
Come on. 
Give a listen, 
Cause I was born lonely 
Down by the riverside. 
Learned to spin fortune wheel 
And throw dice. 
And I was just thirteen 
When I had to leave home. 
Knew I couldn't stick around, 
Had to roam. 
I ain't good lookin', 
But you know I ain't shy. 
Ain't afraid to look a girl 
In the eye. 
So if you need some lovin' 
And you need it right away, 
Just take a little time out 
And maybe I'll stay. 

Then I got to ramble, 
Ramblin' man. 
Lord I got to gamble, 
Gamblin' man. 
Ahh I got to ramble, 
Ramblin' man. 
And I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man. 

I hope you got money, 
Sho gonna need some. 
Ain't gonna run on lovin' 
And I got to run. 
I got to keep movin', 
Never gonna slow down. 
You can have your funky world, 
See ya 'round. 

I got to ramble, 
Ramblin' man. 
Yeah I got to gamble, 
Gamblin' man. 
Ahh I got to ramble, 
Ramblin' man. 
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man.
