Black Oak Arkansas - Ramblin' Gamblin' Man Lyrics






Yeah, 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 looking
But you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look a girl
In the eye
If you need some lovin'
And you need it right away
Take a little time out
And maybe I'll stay
But I got to ramble

Ramblin' man, gamblin' man, ramble, ramblin' man
Gamblin' man
Yeah a ha yeah
Money, cause you know I need some
Ain't gonna run our lovin'
I must run
Gotta keep movin'
Never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world
See ya, 'round
'Cause I gotta ramble

Ramblin' man, gamble, gamblin' man
I got ramblin', gamblin' man
Lord I'm a ramblin', gamblin' man
Oh, just a rambler
Yeah, I'm just a gambler
Come on and sing along, 'cause I'm just a rambler

Black Oak Arkansas Ramblin' Gamblin' Man Comments
  1. R.... A....

    I’m thinking too, this is a better version.

  2. J.... C....

    Disagree, man. Huge Seger fan, but this version is way better in my opinion. Grooves in ways the original doesn’t.

    Bob Seger did cut probably the greatest cover version of any song I have ever heard, though: “Love The One You’re With.”

  3. T.... S....

    The backing vocals don't fit.

  4. e.... s....

    This song is much suited coming from the South than from Detroit.

  5. K.... K....

    I just love that song i wish we could have it on cd my favorite band of all time i love Jim and Rickie Jim Dandy is my man

  6. k.... o....

    This is horrible compared to Seger man..sorry.

  7. C.... m....

    Another Detroit he covered hee hee, cool The spirit similar to Southern Rock

  8. T.... ....

    the version of warren haynes is good too

    T.... ....

    Thomas Siab all of Warren's stuff is good.

    T.... ....

    There's a great live version on YT--Govt Mule and Nalle Colt. My favorite version!

  9. C.... B....

    Hell ya, black oak real shit!!!

  10. M.... S....

    my opinion,Segers version is better

  11. D.... B....

    Backing vocals were the best part of this.

  12. s.... e....

    Runch & Roll!

  13. B.... K....

    Jim's got his Zoolander on in this photo.

  14. S.... ....

    This would have been epic with better production.

    S.... ....

    ShaZAM514 you're right

  15. S.... ....

    Sammy Hagar's version is also awesome!

  16. D.... D....

    I love this song!!

  17. M.... G....

    a much better version then seeger

    M.... G....

    Exactly, thats why i don't like seeger

    M.... G....

    You must be high. Bob Segars version is way better.

  18. m.... ....

    Jim Mangrum,much better on this song than Seger.

  19. t.... ....

    Bob Seger wrote and recorded it but I've alway's liked Black Oak Arkansas's version better. It's got more energy.

    t.... ....

    Bob Seger is Jersey lounge music.

  20. P.... E....

    Black Oak Had there own way.

  21. r.... ....

    You are thinking of Bob Seger, my friend. I hope, anyway.
