Ramblified from Ramblified by Fiona Boyes
I first heard the term 'ramblified' used by Blues legend Son House. He was quoted as saying "I wasn't content anywhere long...just loved to ramble. I was ramblified, you know". So this, of course, is a lilting lament written during COVID lockdown while I missed my family, band, and home town way down South.

Lyrics
Ramblified © Fiona Boyes
I’m feeling ramblified
I’m feeling ramblified
I’m just sitting here singing by the riverside
I’m feeling…
I’m just sitting here singing by the riverside
Now it’s true
I call this river my home
Although it’s so far away from where I was born
Now I don’t know
When I can get gone
Lord, when all the trouble in the world
Gonna let me ramble on
Once in a far-off land
I had a dream of home
But it now it seems like the days of rambling are long gone
You know I miss my friends
And family far away
I’m home at last, but the road calls out my name
I’m ramblified
I’m feeling ramblified
I’m just sitting here singing by the riverside
My mind gets to drifting
And I wander on
To way down South, where my heart belongs
