I am a Ramblin' Man

 

(David Munyon / S.P. Standley / Klaus-Peter Bartels / Bernhard Bohms)

 

a traveling song for all you songwriters...out there...

 

When I was a young boy

My father said to me

Take this old guitar, my father gave to me

Sail up the oceans and never fall in love

Money won't be with you, keep you eyes on the dove of peace

 

I am a ramblin' man, I am a ramblin'man

 

I climbed up on a mountain, the mountain of my dreams

I asked my heavenly father why Jesus died for me

He said I was not born as yet, though he still loved me

 

I am a ramblin' man, I am a ramblin'man

 

In Deutschland, in Alfeld on the 9th of March

I saw my mother's eyes, my father was parched

I heard the celebration, the party for my birth

An' now I travel far away always to return

 

I am a ramblin' man, I am a ramblin'man

 

I met my friend in grade school in this very town

We played football an' chased the pretty girls around

But I fell deep in love with the woman of my dreams

Now I work so hard, she works harder than me

 

I am a ramblin' man, I am a ramblin'man

 

To say I am alone now would be silly lie

I have so many friends I never say goodbye

A cup of German coffee and a cigarette

Is all I ever need to forget my regrets

 

I am a ramblin' man, I am a ramblin'man
