PM [Verse 1] C I've been down the Mississippi, Down through New Orleans, Yes, I have. F I've played in California, C There ain't too much I haven't seen. No, there ain't. G Well, I'm a ramblin' man, G7 Don't fool around with a ramblin' man. [Verse 2] F Left a girl in West Virginia, C Up there where that green grass grows, Yes, I did. F Another girl in Cincinnati, C Waitin' where the Ohio River flows, Poor girl! G I'm a ramblin' man, G7 C Don't give your heart to a ramblin' man. [Chorus] F You'd better move away, C You're standin' too close to the flame. F Once I mess with your mind, C Your little heart won't beat the same. G Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, G7 C Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. Better not! [Verse 3] F Well, up in Chicago, C I was known as "Quiet Boy," Yes, I was! F Down in Alabama, C They call me "The man of joy," Still do! G Well, I'm a ramblin' man, G7 C Don't fall in love with a ramblin' man [Chorus] F You'd better move away, C You're standin' too close to the flame. F Once I mess with your mind, C Your little heart won't beat the same. G Lord, I'm a ramblin' man, G7 C Don't mess around with any ol' ramblin' man. Better not!
