Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' 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 backseat of a, a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
When it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Alright!

I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin'
Leavin’ out of Nashville, Tennessee
They’re always havin’ a good time down on the bayou, Lord
Them Delta women think the world of me

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can
And when it's time for leavin'
I hope you'll understand
That I was born a ramblin' man

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man

Just got home from a cancer treatment...felt a little tired so I opened up youtube. Came across this and man did it bring back memories. Gonna sleep good tonight and tomorrow I'm gonna dig out all my Allman Brothers LP'S and just waste the day by going back in time. This 70 something year old lived thru and experienced the best music ever. Rock on all you Old Farts.

This is one of the greatest songs ever written in my opinion. Not only does it cheer me up it soeaks to me. But it also makes me a little sad too. RIP Duane. ( Going to Duane's Tune from DB's Pattern Disruptive record next) Thats the definition of a great song.

I was born a Ramblin Man and that's why I'm alone now.

The instrumental at the end of this song is one of the best in music history.

Been a rambling man for over 40 years, before this song came out it must be about me. I will die a rambling man 💀

[thedayafter]

This song reminds me of my father. He liked the line about being born in the backseat of a greyhound bus. Rest In Peace, pop.
