I used to be a ramblin' gal
                 Am                        C                     G
Oh but I got tired, and I settled down.
                   C                          G
A long long way, my feet did try
                        Am                                 C                    G
Till the life got heavy and the times got hard.

I've been out east, and I've been out west
                          Am                                       C                    G
But the southern states are the ones I love the best. 
      C                              G
Alabam, Mississip, Louisan 
                  Am                                           C          G
The Carolines, Tennessee, and Georgia's kind.



Well in California I nearly lost my head

I wound up wishing that I was dead. 

But when I reached Cheyenne

I was feeling clear wanted to live again. 

Well I shed a tear in nearly every state

Just wandering down that lost highway. 

Now the open road, starts to calling me

But there ain't no place that I want to be.


Yes I used to be a ramblin' gal

Oh but i got tired and I settled down.
