Well I used to be a ramblin' gal
Oh but I got tired and I settled down
a long long ways, my feet did trod
till the life got heavy and the times got hard
I've been out east and I've been out west
but the southern states, are ones I love the best
Alabam, Mississipp, Louisianne
Oh the Carolines, Tennessee, and Georgia's kind
Well in California, I nearly lost my head
but when I reached that Ole Cheyanne
I was feeling clear, wanted to live again
well I shed a tear in nearly every state
just wandering down that lost highway
and now the open road
starts to callin' me
but there ain't no place
that I wanna be
Yes I used to be a ramblin' gal
