[Intro]
Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale, come on
A-come on, ha, a-give a listen

[Verse 1]
'Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels and throw dice
I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam

[Verse 2]
Ain't good lookin', but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look you girl, hey, in the eye
And if you need some lovin' and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay

[Chorus]
But I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I got to gamble (Gamblin' man)
Oh, I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin', gamblin' man

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, woah
Ooh, a little bit of soul, it's alright
Oh, here we go now
Let's go
[Verse 3]
Now I'm out of money, 'cause you know I need some
Ain't gonna lovе you now, I gotta run
Gotta keep movin', never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you 'round

[Chorus]
But I got to ramblе (Ramblin' man)
I got to gamble (Gamblin' man)
Oh, I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin', gamblin' man

[Outro]
Ooh, got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I got to gamble (Gamblin' man)
Oh, I got to ramble, come on, sing it, yeah (Ramblin' man)
I got to gamble (Gamblin' man)
I got to ramble (Ramblin' man)
I got to gamble (Gamblin' man)
(Ramblin' man)
(Gamblin' man)
(Ramblin' man)
I said we're ramblin' (Gamblin' man)
Ooh, I said we're gamblin' (Ramblin' man)
(Gamblin' man)
