Huh, whoo, oh yeah
Come on, give it a listen

Well, I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin a fortune wheel and roll the dice
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam

I ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look a girl in the eye
So if you want some lovin' and you need it right now
Baby, just stick around, I'll show you how

And I'm ramblin' (ramblin' man)
Lord, I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
I wanna ramble (ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man, come on

Whoo, hey

Well, I hope you got some money, sure gonna need ya some
Ain't go 'round to love you, 'cause I gotta run
I gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, I'll see you 'round

I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Lord, I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
Hey, I gotta ramble (ramblin' man)
'Cause I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man, whoo

I gotta ramble (ramblin' man)
Baby, gotta gamble (gamblin' man)
Whoo, I wanna ramble (ramblin' man)
Eh, eh, eh, I born a ramblin' gamblin' man, yeah

Samuel Roy Hagar, aka The Red Rocker, went from the singer of a major hard rock band, to successful solo artist, to singer of the biggest hard rock/metal band in the world, from the 1960s through 80s.

The first of these was the band Montrose, who capitalized on breakthrough success with Hagar’s songwriting, most notably Bad Motor Scooter and Rock Candy.

After two albums, Sammy argued with band founder Ronny Montrose and left. His solo efforts snowballed into an arena-filling touring schedule and chain of gold records.
