Ramblin' Girl by Malcolm Lucard

Ramblin Girl / words and music by Malcolm Lucard

G6 A D
My baby got on that train, she didn’t even have to explain
G6 A D
My baby didn’t wave goodbye, I didn’t even wonder why
em
Cuz everytime she heard that lonesome whistle
D
I could see it in her eyes
C
She was already riding those rails in her mind
B
It was plain to see She’d be leaving me
A D G6
Leaving me behind / leaving me behind

Cuz she’s a ramblin’ rambling girl
She gonna ramble all around this old world
She can settle and be doin’ fine
Till she hears that old freight rolling down that line
Yep that’s right, it’s just like that song
Every time she heard that whistle she was up and gone
Just like olf Hank said he could understand
She’s out there looking around the next bend

Well that porch swing was still swinging
When I bent down and picked up her ring
I know I shoulda moved on back
Further way from them railroad tracks
I always knew she’d never be happy
Sitting on the front porch, swinging back and forth
That creaky old swing just made her think
Of that Burlington/Northern Atchison Topeka Santa Fe!

My baby never called, that didn’t surprise me at all
My baby she don’t back, Just look straight on down them railroad tracks
I always knew it would end one day
With me standing on the tracks in the cold cold rain
Just like other song, I forget the name
Anyway think I’ll go back home and mow the lawn
