Ramblin' on My Mind
Wandering Blues: Exploring the Soulful Journey of Ramblin' on My Mind
Lyrics
I got ramblin'
I am restless
I got ramblin' on my mind
I am preoccupied with wandering thoughts
I got ramblin'
I am restless
I got ramblin' all on my mind
I am consumed by the desire to roam
Hate to leave you baby
I regret leaving you, but you treat me unkindly
But you treats me so unkind
Your treatment towards me is harsh
And now babe
Now, I will never forgive you
I will never forgive you anymore
Expressing a sense of betrayal and resentment
Little girl, little girl
Addressing a young woman
I will never forgive you anymore
Reiterating the refusal to forgive
You did not want me
You rejected me, why didn't you inform me earlier?
baby, why did you tell me so?
Expressing disappointment in a relationship
And I'm runnin' down to the station
Heading to the train station
catch that first mail train I see spoken: I hear her comin' now.
Anticipating the arrival of a train
And I'm running down to the station
Repeating the intention to go to the station
catch that old first mail train I see
Planning to catch the first available train
I've got the blues about Miss So-and-So
Feeling melancholic about a woman named Miss So-and-So
and the child got the blues about me
Reciprocal feelings of melancholy
An' they's de'ilment
Referring to mischief or mischievous behavior
she got devilment on her mind
She has mischief on her mind
She got devilment
Reiterating the presence of mischief in her thoughts
little girl, you got devilment all on you rmind
Addressing the girl and her mischievous thoughts
Now I got to leave this mornin'
Expressing the need to leave in the morning
with my arms a-fold'up and cryin'
Leaving with a heavy heart and tears
I believe
Expressing a belief about limited time
I believe my time ain't long
Believing that time is running out
I believe
Reiterating a belief in the limited time
I believe that my time ain't long
Expressing a sense of urgency regarding time
But I'm leavin' this mornin'
Planning to leave in the morning
I believe I will go back hom
Expressing a desire to return home
