6.Ramblin' Man
Mark Lanegan:
I can settle down
And be doing just fine
Till I hear an old freight
Going down the line
Then I hurry straight
Home and pack
And if I didn't go
I believe I'd blow my stack
I love you baby
But you must understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man
Some folks may say
That I'm no good
That I wouldn't settle
Down if I could
But when that open road
Starts calling me
There's something over the hill
That I've gotta see
Sometimes it's hard
But you gotta understand
When the Lord made me
He made a ramblin' man
I love to see
The towns passing by
And to ride these rails
'Neath God's blue skies
Let me travel this land
From the mountains to the sea
Cause that's the life
I believe He meant for me
And when I'm gone
And at my grave you stand
Just say God's called
Home his ramblin' man
Isobel Campbell :
Got my loving arms to keep you warm
In the kitchen cooking up a storm
If uncle tells me stay away from you
That is something I could never do
You're my baby, you're my loving man
When you're in trouble, do the best you can
I'm naked daddy just for you
Force of nature and you're coming through
Loving you, going hot and cold
Loving you, getting good and soaked
How I know you hate to see me cry
Happens every time I say goodbye
What's the use, you poor seductive man
Don't get feelings and you'll understand
Lying on somebody just like me
Got you dancing to my melody
God knows how I need your loving arms
If you lose me baby, telephone
Try to pieces, stay away from harm
You're my baby though you do me wrong
Love your nature, though I walk the line
Loving dreams, you're just a waste of time
Baby please don't stay away too long
Fire's burning for when you get home
