The Flatlanders - Ramblin’ Man lyrics

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 north 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, babe 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 That mountainside'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 go where I choose If you sing me a song, make it a 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
