Текст (слова) песни: Lonnie Johnson - Roaming Rambler Blues (1927)
I’m a roamin’ rambler, I ramble and roam everywhere. I’m a roamin’ rambler, I roam and ramble everywhere. I’ve roamed on every railroad, without a nickel fare.
My mammy named me, “Rambler,” I’ll tell you why, I was told. My mammy named me, “Rambler,” I’ll tell you why, I was told. Because I started to ramblin’, when I was only two years old.
I got a gal in Texas, I got gals in Tennessee. I’ve got gals in Texas, I’ve got gals in Tennessee. There’s a hundred those fashions, waitin’ for this rambler’s keep.
I never had a woman, I couldn’t get her back again. I never had a woman, I couldn’t get her back again. ‘Cause they want a ramblin’ man, and not no monkey men.
The judges all knows me, they knows me as a ramblin’ man. The judges all knows me, knows me as a ramblin’ man. When they put me in jail, I gets out on a ‘stallments plan.
