And everywhere I been, the peoples all say
 Ain't nothing in rambling either running around
 Well, I believe I'll marry, oooo, wooo, Lord, and settle down

 I first left home, I stopped in Tennessee
 The peoples all begging, "Come and stay with me"
 'Cause ain't nothing in rambling, either running around
 Well, I believe I'll marry, oooo, wooo, Lord, and settle down

 I was walking through the alley with my hand in my coat
 The police start to shoot me, thought it was something I stole
 You know it ain't nothing in rambling, either running around
 Well, I believe I'll marry, oooo, wooo, Lord, and settle down

 The peoples on the highway is walking and crying
 Some is starving, some is dying
 You know it ain't nothing in rambling, either running around
 Well, I believe I'll marry, oooo, wooo, Lord, and settle down

 You may go to Hollywood and try to get on the screen
 But I'm gonna stay right here and eat these old charity beans
 'Cause it ain't nothing in rambling, either running around
 Well, I believe I'll marry, oooo, wooo, Lord, and settle down
