Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale, come on
A come on, ha, a give a listen

'Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels and throw dice
I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam

Ain't good lookin', but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look you girl, hey, in the eye
So if you need some lovin' and you need it right away
Take a little time out and maybe I'll stay

Now, I'm out of money, 'cause you know I need some
Ain't gonna run on lovin' and I must run
Gotta keep movin', never gonna slow down
You can have your funky worlds, see you 'round
Yeah, Lord, I'm a ramblin', gamblin' man
