Rollin' And Ramblin' Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

(Robin Williams/Linda Williams/Jerome Clark) 

Folks in Nashville slammed the door 

Said we don't want you anymore 

Find your own way down the road 

Pack your fiddle and your guitar 

Take a train or take a car 

Find someone else to keep you from the cold 

Rollin' and ramblin' 

Women loved him half to death 

He sang with whiskey on his breath 

His heart broke like a child's. 

Rollin' and ramblin' 

The sun has set out on the trail 

The hobo's drifted up the rail 

He's taken his last ride.

Oh, he always sang the blues 

Like it was all he ever knew 

He didn't sing at all that night 

He was pale and as he dozed 

He didn't know his time had closed 

Slumped in the back seat to the right. 

Rollin' and ramblin' 

Women loved him half to death 

He sang with whiskey on his breath 

His heart broke like a child's. 

Rollin' and ramblin' 

The sun has set out on the trail 

The hobo's drifted up the rail 

He's taken his last ride.

So they send him on night train, South 

Through the cities and the rural routes 

Just one more place to go 

Ah, the whistle sang the bluest note 

Like it came from his own throat 

Moanin' sad and cryin' low. 

Rollin' and ramblin' 

Women loved him half to death 

He sang with whiskey on his breath 

His heart broke like a child's. 

Rollin' and ramblin' 

The sun has set out on the trail 

The hobo's drifted up the rail 

He's taken his last ride. 

Rollin' and ramblin' 

The sun has set out on the trail 

The hobo's drifted up the rail 

He's taken his last ride.
