Hi Lonnie fans
I am trying to find the lyrics to "Roamin' Rambler"
Any help would be appreciated

I'm a roamin' rambler, my home is in no one place.
I'm a roamin' rambler, my home is in no one place.
And I'll find a sweet, brown skinned woman that really fills my empty space.

I'm known as a rambler, I'm known in every man's town.
I'm the only rambler, I'm known in every man's town.
Even the little birds begin weepin', when that evenin' sun goes down.

The judges all knows me as a man with a smilin' face.
The judges all knows me as a man with a smilin' face.
And there's no other one can ever take my place.

I'm a roamin' man, and my home is in no one man's town.
I'm a roamin' man, and my home is in no one man's town.
The kids all cry and the women scream, when that evenin' sun goes down.

I never had a woman that I couldn't get her back again.
I never had a woman that I couldn't get her back again.
I can get the best woman that ever was and I don't have to be in my gin.

Lonnie Johnson recorded that song with the title RAMBLER'S BLUES.

Since Tony-The-Ace recently posted the same request in a thread about a Lonnie Donegan song, I assumed he was looking for a song by Lonnie Donegan, not Lonnie Johnson.

Oh, well. It looks like this might be the song Tony wanted. Anyway, I wasn't able to find a close match among the songs recorded by Lonnie Donegan.

Good effort Geust999
Donegan's version was slightly different though
Anyone know the exact Donegan's version
