Ramblin’ Man Songtext
von The Flatlanders

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 northern 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, baby
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
Well, that mountain side'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′ll go where I choose
If you sing me a song, make it the 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
