  			Intro: Am 
 
        Am 
I can settle dow-own and be doin' just fine 
     E                                Am 
Til I hear an old train rollin' down the line 
 
Then I hurry strai-aight home and pack 
        E                               Am 
And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack 
 
I love you ba-aby, but you gotta understand 
        E 
When the Lord made me 
                 Am 
He made a Ramblin' man. 
 
 
Some folks might sa-ay that I'm no good 
 
That I wouldn't settle down if I could 
 
But when that open ro-oad starts to callin' me 
 
There's somethin' o'er the hill that I gotta see 
 
Sometimes it's har-rd but you gotta understand 
 
When the Lord made me, He made a Ra-amblin' Man. 
 
 
I love to see the tow-owns a-passin' by 
 
And to ride these rails 'neath God's blue sky 
 
Let me travel this la-and from the mountains to the sea 
 
'Cause that's the life I believe He meant for me 
 
And when I'm go-one and at my grave you stand 
 
Just say God called home your Ra-amblin' Man.
