C                                  F
well I never took to ramblin, till I turned 21
C                       D7            G7
then I had a notion to make it on the run
C                        F              C
feelin' the blues in the bottoms of my shoes
C7       Bb7           Ab7       G7    C
didn't I know this ol' ramblin's good news

and I go...

chorus:
C                 F        C
reelin' down that old highway
C                  D7          G7 
reelin' down cause reelin's my way
C                         F           C
and if I don't know your name or your town
C  Bb7   Ab7  G7   C
re-ee-ee-eee-lin' down

clickity-clack, that ol' railroad track
five'll getcha ten getcha 25 ol' greenbacks
well, I never seen much coin in my bag
I soon got used to that same ol' jag

you got to stand by this word if you wanna do right
if you got a good home, then stay there tonight
unless you wanna eat the dirt and the mud
stay 'way from ramblin' it get in your blood

and you'll go

(repeat chorus)

what I do is I go
ree-eee-eee-lin' down
ree-eee-eee-lin' down
