     Lord, I was born a ramblin' man,

trying to make a living and doing the best I   can.

     Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia 
                            C           D 
and he wound up on the wrong end of a gun.

And I was born in the back seat of a  - Greyhound bus,

  rolling down highway forty-one.

I'm on my way to New Orleans this morning,

They're always having a good time down on the Bayou, Lord.

Them delta women think the world of me.
