Seger, Bob - Ramblin' Gamblin' Man Lyrics
Yeah, I'm gonna tell my tale
Come on, come on,
I give a listen
'Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam
Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look a girl, hey, in the eye
So if you need some loving, and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay
But I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Bring it on, come down
Yeah alright, here we go now now now
I'm out of money, 'cause you know I need some
Ain't around to loving, and I must run
Gotta keep moving, never gonna slow down
You can have your funky world, see you 'round
'Cause I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Oh I got to gamble (gamblin' man)
I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
I was born a ramblin' gamblin' man
Just a rambler
I'm just a gambler
Come on and sing along
'Cause I'm just a rambler
Ramblin' man
Come on I'm a gambler
Gamblin' man
Rambler
Ramblin' man
I'm a rambler
Gamblin' man
Rambler
Ramblin' man

Seger, Bob Ramblin' Gamblin' Man Comments
LOVE THAT DRUMMER AND KEYBOARD PLAYER
I had to check what year this song came out bcuz I first heard it in 1977! It in no way comes close to the 60's sound of music.It totally sounds like an early 70's song though.Quentin does it again.I was just watching Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.It was good.
What a great example of Bob Seger's R&B roots. So nice to hear the Hammond. Boy, do I miss it. And that beat. Cuh-lassic!
Phuck once upon a time in hollyweird
been my marching orders since 1986
Yeah, it's catchy all right. Love it. Too bad I can't sing it they'd think I was gay
Is it true Glen Frey is singing harmony on this one ?
"He killed his fucking wife"
A guy I worked with, Bill mortimer , lived this , orlando fl
WHY THANK you BARRY;) Lyndon
This is a solid good totally rocking great song by Seger. I would say one of his best ever !
he looks like jesus, and has the voice i imagine jesus had
Can't listen to this song anymore without thinking of Cliff Booth strolling down the highway.
Vietnam brought me here
Who's 🎸 Rockin in 2020??
Me. I'm thirteen
Who isn’t!?
@67maxfield True, if you're listening to this you're probably rockin
I am, especially after hearing this in "Once Upon a Time"
I told a friend of mine that I thought this song would fit perfectly in a Tarantino movie, then a couple of weeks later it really did!
For everyone thinking once upon a time, I think lil joe dirt dancing on the tracks
Real G’s remember this from Joe Dirt.
I think it's a testament to just how fucking lame this generation is when the stupid fucks have to watch a movie from 2019 to find out about this kick ass tune. Here's to all the true fans who knew about this song 30 years ago.
I'm still roaming 😉👍an ramblin 😏
I first heard this song at the Pizza Palace in Jamestown ND about 1973 when I was about 15 years old. I've been a hard core fan of Bob Seger ever since. True great rock and roll! I even name my boat " The Night Moves" Long live Seger!!
This song changed my life .
This song forces you to go 30 mph over the speed limit regardless if there are cops around
🐰THIS.IS WHERE THE REAL PARTYS AT:EARTH! IF UR HUNGRY I WILL FEED YOU, AFTER I GET MY $Munnee🐰
WHO’S HERE LISTENING AFTER WATCHING ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD ? PEACE TO THE WORLD !
Was ever at Sherwood Forest out by Davison?
DETROIT.. 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just heard this in the new Quinten Tarantino movie with Pitt and Leo and I've been jamming to it all day......
aint good lookin ..but chu know i aint shy..
Favorite Bob Seger song
You can have your funky world, see ya round.........................
didn't need q tarantino tell me this is good....35ys of listening...he is awesome at adding great music to his sound tracks!
Brad Pitt and Seeger...great combo!
Fogerty should add this one to his setlist.
Rock and roll... the classical!
Once upon a Time there was REAL music...love it!!!
This' one cool song. Love the lyrics and the way he's phasing. And what a funky bassline. Truly a classic.
I didn't like it not my taste beat it is better
Fuck yeah!!!!
Can it really be half a century?
Thank u Glenn Frey!!!!!!!!!
Awesome tune!
Freak'n Seger! We are makin Thunderbirds again in the USA!
I swear I'll never understand why people feel compelled to mention what brought them to a video. So you never heard of this song before Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Okay. Fucking great. lol Definitely one of the dumber trends.
It's entirely possible that they had not. It's not like this is a Seger track that gets air play. Why so much hate in you?
@Mike Walsham I know it's entirely possible. Did you see a question mark anywhere in my previous comment? No, you didn't. That's because I wasn't asking if they had. I was addressing that they hadn't. And air play is irrelevant. If they like the song, awesome. That's not what my comment was about. It's about the asinine and pointless trend of saying what brought you to a music video. Like who fucking cares if a Charmin toilet paper commercial introduced you to a song? Just enjoy the song. Stop being a lemming. lol
@Susie Q So, your whole point is a bit inane. Because you have a proclivity to admonish people for stating what brought them to a certain song, you expect them to sway to your way of thinking. Why even voice it? It's not like you're going to change the interactive habits of the general youtube user. So in your way of thinking, people that post about what brought them to a certain song are lemmings, but if they follow YOUR criteria, it's all good. Talk about LEMMINGS. Eye roll..............
@Mike Walsham Dude, you're talking out of your ass. In the first place, it's not inane, because it's my fucking prerogative to voice my opinion. Simple as that. I haven't stated any expectation of "swaying" people whatsoever; that's merely an obtuse presumption on your part, as indeed your entire comment is.
In any event, trends are inherently predicated on lemming behavior, because that's what makes them trends, Sherlock.
Again, I'm not trying to get anyone to follow my criterion; I'm voicing an opinion (do you understand the difference, or shall I break out the crayons?). Roll your eyes at that, mouth-breather.
Who's seeing this for the first time in 2025?
Been jamming to this since I was a kid...I AM 47now.. never gets old
Joe same here but i am 72 years young
Who are the 700 assholes who gave this a 👎🏼
Pricks
No live video of this one? :(
Who in the Hell cant like this song?
I’m so happy to have been at a time in my life, that I got to experience the best music ever!! ...💞💞
Goddammit this rocks - you can have your funky world, ha!
Bob Clarke of Oakland CA ?
Live version from Live Bullet is pretty damn good too. Saw Seger in Tampa in 72. Long live RR !
Dickie Betts wrote this ? Unreal !
Still rockin this in 2019 baby
Me, too, especially after seeing 'OUTIH'
The drums in this song donkey punches you right in the dick.
It isn’t genius till bob sings it...ah yes genius...
Damn I miss this.
#JoeDirt
Who wants to PARDY
Glenn's fry. & the. Rhonda. Stand. Bach. Up. Linda's. Red. Roc3er
Love this tune❤️
dang LOVE that drummer and Organ player
My band opened for him in 1967 in Jackson Michigan in 1967
Me cool tunes not this rap crsp real music
Just saw Bob in Chicago on his farewell tour. Awesome.
what a funkin tune
I swear I saw Bob Seger play in a bar in LA in the mid-1960's, before he got famous. When I look Seger up on wikipedia I don't see any references to that, and my memory isn't what it once was. It's weird having memories and not know if they are real. Old age will do that to you.
The Seger System rocked.....
cccllllaaaassssiiiccccc good stuff!!!
This song was huge and great long before Tarantino...put it in a movie.... welcome to a great American treasure....WAKE THE F UP!!!
Who was jamming on the ogans/keys on this?....WOOO!
Ramblin' Gamblin'
Ain’t afraid to look at girl yea in the eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'OUATIH" brought me here & can't stop listening now. My favorite song by him.
The guy on the bass makes me a one happy man
This is when you open the throttle on all that power you're straddling and let the horses run, the pipes sing, and thank God for the smooth road, full tank of gas and the freedom of this great nation.
You just described Brad Pitts character driving the LA freeways in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.
Open the throttle or push the pedal down. This shit makes me wanna drive it, just as fast as it will go
@Red Clark Just as soon as I get my license... damn hurry UP! I'm only thirteen :)
this needs to be in fallout 5
Who started me to dancing.. this song.. no doubt
25 cent draft beers and this on the juke box (3 songs for a quarter) at Sam's in 1969. Great song to dance to.

Man Music..
He was the 1st rocker I went to see. I think it was 1970@Trenton Mi high school. Think he stayed local between this and the back in 72 album,then he went world wide; I remember the back up band, magic ring was about as good as they were. Wasn't really a fan after
Then u could change your name from kicking wing to kickin ass.i would
U need an ORGAN
Timeless classic
I thougt this guy was black.amazing voice.sorry bad english

WHOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Motor City rocking rock.
This is the fifth time I hear this song in a week!! Very danceable!!
Shit man I'm hearing this for the 1st time! Thank you once upon a time in hollywood!! 🙏
I LOVE this and always have.
Man I heard this song the other morning on an oldies station and I just had to look it up on YT. So much energy and fun. I play bass and the bass player on this song just stands out. Love the slick lyrics and the lead. It's just to short though. So much great music from the 60's and 70's era.
Straight up Detroit...late 60's.
Seger's voice, soul and talent is epic and so underrated
Congratulations to anyone who didn't need Tarantino to tell them this song existed.
Me. I grew up with this. I was in HS
Well look at you BobClarke1945. All grown up and earning that sweet sweet $0.0000001 in YouTube ad revenue posting ads I can't skip on songs you didn't write. Rock on BobClark1945, rock on.
