Lyrics
I was born in Louisiana, I was raised in Algiers
And everywhere I been, the people all say
Ain't nothin' in ramblin', either runnin' 'round
Well, I believe I'll marry, ooo Lord, and settle down
I first left home, I stopped in Tennessee
People all beggin', come and stay with me
'Cause ain't nothin' in ramblin', either runnin' 'round
Well, I believe I'll find a good man, ooo Lord, and settle down
I was walkin' through the alley with my hand in my coat
The police start to shoot me, thought it was somethin' I stole
You know, ain't nothin' in ramblin', either runnin' 'round
Well, I believe I'll marry, ooo Lord, and settle down
The people on the highway is walkin' and cryin'
Some is starvin', some is dyin'
You know, ain't nothin' in ramblin', either runnin' 'round
Well, I believe I'll get a good man, ooo Lord, and settle down
You may go to Hollywood, to try to get on the screen
But I'ma stay right here and eat these old charity beans
'Cause ain't nothin' in ramblin', either runnin' 'round
Well, I believe I'll marry, ooo Lord, and settle down
