Lyrics:

(CHORUS)
LORD, I WAS BORN A RAMBLIN MAN
TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING AND DOING THE BEST I CAN
WHEN IT'S TIME FOR LEAVING, I HOPE YOU'LL UNDERSTAND
THAT I WAS BORN A RAMBLING MAN

MY FATHER WAS A GAMBLER DOWN IN GEORGIA
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

(CHORUS)

I'M ON MY WAY TO NEW ORLEANS THIS MORNING
LEAVING OUT OF NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
THEY'RE ALWAYS HAVING A GOOD TIME DOWN ON THE BAYOU, LORD
THEM DELTA WOMEN THINK THE WORLD OF ME

(CHORUS)

LORD, I WAS BORN A RAMBLIN MAN
LORD, I WAS BORN A RAMBLIN MAN......
