LONESOME RAMBLER

I WAS BORN A LONESOME RAMBLER
I MET JESUS ON A TRAIN
JUST A HOMELESS, LONG-HAIRED GAMBLER
OH HE MADE ME WHOLE AGAIN

HE SAID SON, YOU’RE ON A JOURNEY
TO THAT KINGDOM IN THE SKY
THEN HE TOUCHED MY HAND AND CURED ME
WASHED ME CLEAN AND SAID GOOD BYE

I WAS BORN IN MISSISSIPPI
DON’T RECALL MY MOMMA’S NAME
LEFT ME WITH A BUNCH OF GYPSIES
THEN WENT CHASING AFTER FAME

AND MY DADDY’S STILL IN PRISON
CUZ HE KILLED HIS SECOND WIFE
AND THE TRUTH IS I DON’T MISS HIM
FOR HE’S PAYING WITH HIS LIFE

YAH, I WAS BORN A LONESOME RAMBLER
I MET JESUS ON A TRAIN
JUST A HOMELESS, LONG-HAIRED GAMBLER
OH HE MADE ME WHOLE AGAIN

I’VE BEEN ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY
THERE’S NO PLACE THAT I CAN STAY
JUST A LOST AND LONESOME RAMBLER
WANDERIN’ TILL MY DYING DAY

OH YOU KNOW, I’M ON A JOURNEY
TO THAT KINGDOM IN THE SKY
WHEN THEY LAY ME ON THAT GURNEY
I’LL BE FREE ENOUGH TO FLY
