"Ramblin' Man" is a song written in 1951 by Hank Williams. It was released as the B-side to the 1953 #1 hit "Take These Chains from My Heart", as well as to the 1976 re-release of "Why Don't You Love Me". It's also included on the 40 Greatest Hits, a staple of his CD re-released material. The song is notable for the simplicity of its structure, relying upon a 2-chord, minor-key, rhythm guitar figure and alternating minimal accompaniment from fiddle and steel guitar. It also features Williams' trademark "yodel". The song's 3-verses, all ending in the title line, are sang straight through with no pause for instrumental solos. The song tells the story of a man trapped in his drifting ways, doomed to break his lover's heart. Tales of wanders were a common theme for Williams, and consequently, Country Music as a whole. The Allman Brothers also released their own song called Ramblin' Man in 1973. Track listing 1. "Ramblin' Man" (Hank Williams) - 3:29 2. "(Do You Wanna) Come Walk with Me?" (Campbell) - 3:27 3.
