Midnight Rider Ramblin Man  
     

Ramblin' Man

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......



Midnight Rider

And I've got to run to keep from hidin
And I'm bound to keep on ridin
And I've got one more silver dollar
But, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider

And I don't own the clothes I'm wearin
And the road goes on forever
And I've got one more silver dollar
But, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider

And I've gone by the point of carin
Some old bed I'll soon be sharin
And I've just one more silver dollar
But, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider

No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider
No, I'm not gonna let em catch me, no
Not gonna let em catch the midnight rider
