Nothing In Rambling - Original - Memphis Minnie

I was born in Louisiana, I was raised in Algiers

And everywhere I been, the peoples all say

Ain’t nothing in rambling either running around

Well, I believe I’ll marry, o Lord, and settle down

I first left home, I stopped in Tennessee

The peoples all begging, «Come and stay with me»

'Cause ain’t nothing in rambling, either running around

Well, I believe I’ll get me a good man, o Lord, and settle down

I was walking through the alley with my hand in my coat

The police start to shoot me, thought it was something I stole

You know it ain’t nothing in rambling, either running around

Well, I believe I’ll marry, o Lord, and settle down

The peoples on the highway is walking and crying

Some is starving, some is dying

You know it ain’t nothing in rambling, either running around

Well, I believe I’ll get a good man, o Lord, and settle down

You may go to Hollywood and try to get on screen

But I’m gonna stay right here and eat these old charity beans

'Cause it ain’t nothing in rambling, either running around

Well, I believe I’ll marry, o Lord, and settle down
