(originally by Bob Seger)

Huh, wooh, oh yeah
Come on, give it a listen

Well, I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin a fortune wheel and roll the dice
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam

I ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look a girl in the eye
So if you want some lovin' and you need it right now
Baby, just stick around, I'll show you how

And I'm ramblin' (ramblin' man)
Lord, I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
I want to ramble (ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man, come on

Wooh, hey

Well, I hope you got some money, sure gonna need ya some
I ain't around to love you, 'cause I gotta run
I gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, I'll see you 'round

I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Lord, I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
Hey, I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
'Cause I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man, wooh

I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Baby, got to gamble (gamblin' man)
Wooh, I want to ramble (ramblin' man)
Eh, eh, eh, I born a ramblin' gamblin' man, yeah
