Come and gather around me good people My life I must reveal Well tomorrow might have been different And I know how my darling ought to feel Well that last time I saw my woman She had a wine glass in her hand She was drinking down her troubles With a low down sorry man Well I wrote my Momma a letter And I told her I was in jail Well she wrote me back in a hurry Saying honey I'm gonna come and throw your bail Well I'm a laying around in this old jail house Forty dollars will pay my fine Pretty women swarming all around me Marijuana has destroyed my mind Give me cornbread when I'm hungry Corn whiskey when I'm dry Pretty women swarming all around me Sweet Heaven when I die Well my Daddy taught me plenty And my Momma she taught me more She said if I didn't quit my rowdy ways I'd have trouble knocking at my door When my Earthly trials are over Throw my cold dead body in the sea Tell that false hearted lover of mine That the whales are gonna fuss over me Give me cornbread when I'm hungry Corn whiskey when I'm dry Pretty women swarming all around me Sweet Heaven when I die

Let's go on a trip I am a Rambler of Aeons I hear them cry They pray aloud My funeral has begun The flesh and bones The spirit gone I see them from down below Unholy sirens calling me Castaway in my odyssey For eternity I am a Rambler of Aeons Lost in the garden of eden A fallen demon on the loose Opens the seventh seal When you see what is meant to be There's no fear The message is clear Beyond the realms of life and death The winds of freedom Whisper to me For eternity I am a rambler of aeons Lost in the garden of eden I am a rambler of aeons Lost in the garden of eden I am a runaway From this bitter world I always knew it would be A better place So when you think of me I want you to know That I'm ok Just let me go I am a Rambler of Aeons Lost in the garden of eden I am a Rambler of Aeons I am a Rambler of Aeons

Well, I been down livin' on the street Been playing for change To a crowd of moving feet Well, they call me high, but I never felt so low And in this world, I got nowhere to go What ever happened to the time of the rambler? Livin' in the Big Rock Candy Mountain days Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler But the game won't ever change Well, I watch all the cars drivin' down the highway And I wonder how, how much did they pay? Well I see their faces never smilin' my way And I wonder how, how long is their day? What ever happened to the time of the rambler? Livin' in the Big Rock Candy Mountain days Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler But the game won't ever change Well, I watch all the rich folks They seem to do so well Hiding in their houses, perched up on the hills Can it buy you freedom? Wishin' for the day when all your sadness Suddenly melts away What ever happened to the time of the rambler? Livin' in the Big Rock Candy Mountain days Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler But the game won't ever change But the game won't ever change Ah, but the game won't ever change
