Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leaves are falling all around
It's time I was on my way
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way

Ah, sometimes I grow so tired
But I know I've got one thing I got to do

Ramble on
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl
On my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
Ramble on
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams

Got no time for spreadin' roots
The time has come to be gone
And thoough our health we drank a thousand times
It's time to ramble on

Ramble on
And now's the time, the time is now
To sing my song
I'm going 'round the world, I got to find my girl
On my way
I've been this way ten years to the day
I gotta ramble on
I gotta find the queen of all my dreams

I ain't tellin' no lie
Mine's a tale that can't be told
My freedom I hold dear
How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air
'T was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair
But Gollum, and the evil one
Crept up and slipped away with her
Her, her, yeah
Ain't nothing I can do, no

I guess I keep on rambling
I'm gonna, yeah, yeah, yeah
Sing my song (I gotta find my baby)
I gotta ramble on, sing my song
Gotta work my way around the world baby, baby
Ramble on, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, my baby
Doo, doo, doo, doo
Doodoo doodoo doodoo doodoo doodoo

I gotta keep searching for my baby
(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
I gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby
(My, my, my, my, my, my, my baby)
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
I can't find my bluebird
I listen to my bluebird sing
I can't find my bluebird




I keep rambling, baby
I keep rambling, baby

Still more meaningless sounds

I must continue my search for my one true love


(Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby)
I whisper my baby's name over and over, hoping the universe will align


I gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby
I must continue looking for my girl


(My, my, my, my, my, my, my baby)
I keep repeating the words 'my baby' like a mantra of hope and longing


Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah
More expressions of determination and hopefulness


Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Even more sounds of encouragement and persistence


I can't find my bluebird
I cannot locate the love of my life


I listen to my bluebird sing
I look forward to hearing her beautiful singing voice someday


I keep rambling, baby
I will continue my journey no matter what it takes

When I was 25 I was diagnosed with cancer. Going through four rounds of chemo all I could do is sit in that chair and listen to led. Now I’m 30 and still rambling on.
