1397 – The Allman Brothers – Ramblin' man (1973)

 

Escrita por Dickey Betts, foi gravada pelos Allman Brothers em outubro de 1972 e lançada em agosto de 1973, no compacto que tinha Pony Boy como Lado B e também saiu no disco Brothers and sisters. Dickey Betts era guitarrista da banda.Foi inspirada na canção de mesmo nome, de 1951, do grande Hank Williams. É a música mais country dos Allman Brothers, por isso eles relutaram em gravar. O guitarrista Les Dudek faz as harmonias na guitarra. Foi uma das últimas contribuições do baiista Berry Oakley na banda. Chegou ao número 2 no Billboard Hot100, sendo a primeira e única vez que a banda tinha um Top10 nesse chart. Chegou também ao número 7 no Canadá.


A letra:


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.

My father was a gambler down in Georgia,
And 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...

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...

Lord, I was born a ramblin' man...
