Lonnie Johnson – Letras de 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.
