Ramshackle man

Words & music by Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and Roger Glover

My clothes don't fit and I have no point of view
Got a bad reputation but I don't believe it's true
I had something going but I blew it down the can ouh
Not exactly what I planned... oh
Ha! I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

I look like a joker but I feel like a one-eyed jack
Shuffling around, never get to the top of the pack
I said to the dealer put the ace in my hand
But he couldn't give a damn... oah ooh!
Oh I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

Aaah auh!

I sit down thinking 'bout the things I have to do
Yeah I start out fine then I pick up something new
I stumbled through the door that's how it all began
Now it's buried in the sand
I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

The stars shine bright when the boys come out to play
Never feeling more than I'm feeling right here today
I used to be fresh but now I'm second hand oh yeah
I do what I can... oh ouh
I'm a ramshackle man - That's what I am

Is what I am - I'm a ramshackle man
It's what I am - I'm a ramshackle man...
