Lyrics:

I can settle down and be doin' just fine
Till I hear an old train rollin' down the line

Then I hurry straight home and pack
And if I didn't go I believe I'd blow my stack

I love you babe but you gotta understand
When the Lord made me, He made a ramblin' man

I love to see the towns passin' by
And to ride these rails beneath God's blue sky

Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea
'Cause I believe that's the life He meant for me

And when I'm gone and at my grave you stand
Just say God's called home your ramblin' man

I heard Steve singin' 'bout Montgomery in the rain
And lots of other folks have with a lot of songs worried all about Daddy and his pains

I'm a son of the blues, you see
And don't worry about him and don't worry about me
