Hi,
Here's what I came up with for the music Ramblin' Man. I can not get the last two lines for the moment - any ideas?
Sorry about not using Galloping Goose, the meter did not seem right to put Galloping where Ramblin' was.

Ramblin' Man
The Allman Brothers Band
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, "Lord, I was born a ramblin' goose"
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. "Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can."
And when it's time for leavin', "And when it's time for leavin',"
I hope you'll understand, "I hope you'll understand,"
That I was born a ramblin' man. "That I was born a ramblin' goose"
Well my father was a gambler down in Georgia, "Welll my creator was in Ridgway Colorado"
He wound up on the wrong end of a gun. "The RGS wound up on the wrong side of silver."
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus "And I was born in the backshop of the Ridgway shops"
Rollin' down highway fourty one. “Rollin' across the San Juan Mountains."
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, "Lord, I was born a ramblin' goose"
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. "Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can."
And when it's time for leavin', "And when it's time for leavin',"
I hope you'll understand, "I hope you'll understand,"
That I was born a ramblin' man. "That I was born a ramblin' goose"
I'm on my way to New Orleans this mornin', "I'm on my way to Dolores this mornin',"
Leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee, "Leaving out of Ridgway, Colorado"
They're always having a good time down on the bayou, "Miners are always having a good time in Rico," <<<===???
Lord, them Delta women think the world of me. "Them Durangian women gallop the best of me." <<<===???
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, "Lord, I was born a ramblin' goose"
Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. "Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can."
And when it's time for leavin', "And when it's time for leavin',"
I hope you'll understand, "I hope you'll understand,"
That I was born a ramblin' man. "That I was born a ramblin' goose"
Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, "Lord, I was born a ramblin' goose"
Challange to musicians:
Using the music, can you come up with a poem/song for one of the traveling locos (Geese, SP 18, 315, Eureka, etc)?
