Ramblin’ Man

I'm your ramblin' man, I can lift your latch
I could stay here, Mama, but I got me some trains to catch

When that cold north wind stops blowin'
I'll still be walkin' the line
If you ever see me laughin', little lady
I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'
I'm your ramblin' man and some Christmas time
You can hang my holy socks on a midnight line

Don't that moon look beautiful, babe
Climbin' through the sky?
Well, it looks like I'm gonna chase that moon
Baby, 'til the day I die
I'm your ramblin' man and there ain't no doubt
I'm gonna hang out late, baby, with the midnight crowd

That mountainside's just gonna sit there
And the river's gonna float on by
Please don't ask me to hang around
I couldn't stay here if I tried
I'm your ramblin' man and I go where I choose
If you sing me a song, make it a midnight blues

Where the silver starlight glistens
On the green mossy banks of time
I'm gonna spend my long nights listenin'
Lookin' for a star that's mine
I'm your ramblin' man, and 'til I get home
You can hang my midnight mail on a rollin' stone
