Over deze songtekst:
Geschreven door Dickey Betts (zanger en oprichter van The Allman Brothers Band) in 1973. Hij baseerde zich op de gelijknamige hit van Hank Williams, maar het is geen cover. Het werd commercieel de grootste hit, maar desondanks werd het sinds half jaren '70 amper live gebracht. Na het vertrek va Dickey Betts werd het zelfs helemaal niet meer gezongen. Het nummer gaat over een man die langs vele plaatsen reist en het leven neemt zoals het is. Het raakte net niet op nr 1 door 'Half Breed' van Cher. Ironische genoeg trouwde Gregg Allman in 1975 met haar.
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand, That I was born a ramblin' man. Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia, He wound up on the wrong end of a gun. And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus Rollin' down highway 41. Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand, That I was born a ramblin' man. I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin', Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee, They're always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord, them Delta women think the world of me. Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand, That I was born a ramblin' man. [Repeat and Fade] Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...
