Rambling on My Mind
Wandering Heartache: Rory Block's Soulful Tale of Love and Departure
Lyrics
I got ramblin'
I feel the urge to wander
I got ramblin' on my mind
I have a strong desire to ramble on
I got ramblin'
Reiterating the feeling of wanting to ramble
I got ramblin' all on my mind
Continued expression of the desire to ramble
Hate to leave you baby
Reluctance to part with a significant other
But you treats me so unkind
Feeling mistreated by the significant other
And now babe
Expressing a sense of betrayal or disappointment
I will never forgive you anymore
Commitment to not forgive the significant other
Little girl, little girl
Addressing a young woman
I will never forgive you anymore
Reiteration of the decision not to forgive the young woman
You did not want me
Questioning why the young woman rejected the speaker
Baby, why did you tell me so?
Expressing confusion and hurt about the rejection
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.
Anticipation of the approaching train
And I'm running down to the station
Reiteration of heading to the train station
Catch that old first mail train I see
Expressing the intention to catch the first train
I've got the blues about Miss So-and-So
Feeling melancholic about a person named Miss So-and-So
And the child got the blues about me
Indicating that the child also has blues about the speaker
An' they's de'ilment
Referring to mischievous behavior or trouble
She got devilment on her mind
Noticing a mischievous or devilish mindset in someone
She got devilment
Reiterating the presence of devilish thoughts
Little girl, you got devilment all on you rmind
Addressing the young girl with devilish thoughts
Now I got to leave this mornin'
Announcing the decision to leave in the morning
With my arms a-fold'up and cryin'
Describing the emotional state of leaving with sadness
I believe
Expressing a belief about the limited time remaining
I believe my time ain't long
Reiterating a belief in the shortness of time
I believe
Expressing a belief in the impending end
I believe that my time ain't long
Reiterating the belief in the limited time left
But I'm leavin' this mornin'
Confirming the decision to leave in the morning
I believe I will go back home
Expressing the intention to return home
