Hank Williams - Ramblin Man - 78rpm record

Hank Williams (the best singer songwriter to record country music in history)

- Ramblin Man - MGM 78rpm record

released in 1953

lyrics:
I can settle dow-own and be doin' just fine
Till I hear an old train rollin' down the line
Then I hurry straiaight home and pack
And if I didn't go, I believe I'd blow my stack
I love you ba-aby, but you gotta understand
When the lord made me
He made a ramblin' man.

Some folks might say that i'm no good
That i wouldn't settle down if I could
But when that open road starts to callin' me
There's somethin' over the hill that I gotta see
Sometimes it's hard but you gotta understand
When the lord made me, he made a ramblin' man.

I love to see the towns a-passin' by
And to ride these rails 'neath god's blue sky
Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea
'cause that's the life I believe he meant for me
And when i'm gone and at my grave you stand
Just say god called home your ramblin' man.

**be sure to check out my other 78's!**

Best songwriter PERIOD.

@LUKEMCGRATH

Damn straight!!!

I'm just am old fart that grew up with this stuff. One thing that makes Hank's music so great it that it's from the heart. He's lived it and he's playing it for us. People love it for what it is; in the States, Japan, Phillipines, Hong Kong, wherever. It's sad, tear jerking music, but from the heart, and that's why people love it. Ramblin Man is one of my favorites. Drank many a beers while listening to it in Sasebo, Japan, circa 1965.

Oh yea. What you said about HANK is more than true.

HANK WILLIAMS wrote the book on singer songwriter material. Everyone else (no matter how great and original) all take something from him.

And its all real life material....which is also why its timeless.

I have Ramblin Man on 78 as well but mine does not sound as crisp as yours. I am playing on an antique phonograph, however. What are you playing on?

[xodusattack]

actually this video was on my CALIFONE record player, no reciever or anything. Its an old carry along cheap player.

The needle probably needs to be changed, but I don't use it often.

Sometimes the worst setups can give the best sounds....its really wierd.

awesome makes chills run down your spine

Hank III says he plays dark, and Williams Sr. plays light, but man....this is pretty heavy right here.

[WpgLwr007]

The great thing about Hank Sr is that he wasn't afraid to sing his own stuff. He set the mold for the singer-songwriter that wasn't really picked up until Buddy Holly...

[trueshepherd]

There will never be music like this again and that’s whats truly sad.

[THEFLYINGREDNECK]

HANK SR, JR, III ROCKS MY WORLD

[handinside]

@DevoBassGirl You can say that again!

[WillardMassey1]

I've always loved Hank,, I can hear the pain in his voice and it always sends chills down my spine, CMT and Nashville today needs to take lessons

[DevoBassGirl]

Dark, haunting, ACTUAL country music. You can't fake the emotion present in this song. How did country music go from this to that hack Taylor Swift and all the other goons who don't write or even sing their music??

[tenparab]

This is country.....thats all she wrote..

[Billl469]

There is no country singer/song writer with more heart or talent. I grew up on Hank Williams and Roy Acuff. 63 years later I still love their music.

[radiorec1]

no one will ever be anywere as talented as this man he will live forever in all our hearts i have all 78s all eps and lps radiorec
