Allman Brothers Band

Misheard lyrics (also called mondegreens) occur when people misunderstand the lyrics in a song. These are NOT intentional rephrasing of lyrics, which is called parody. For more information about the misheard lyrics available on this site, please read our FAQ.

This page contains a list of the songs that have stories about their misheard lyrics submitted.

Song names are sorted by first letter, excluding A and The. This is sorted by song title only, not by song title and performer. So if two different performers preformed the same song, you'll see misheard lyrics for both on the same page (provided the song title was spelt the same both times, and misheard lyrics have been submitted for both!).

Allman Brothers Band's, "Ramblin Man"

The Misheard Lyrics:

Lord I was born ramblin mad

The Real Lyrics:

Lord I was born a ramblin man

The Story: I was with a group of people when I belted this song at the top of my lungs -- they all laughed when I got to that part. I didn't believe it was so, despite that 5 people were saying otherwise, and actually insisted on looking up the lyrics on the 'net. Embarrassing. Well, I said, you can't expect me to change my thinking on something that I believed was so for the last 25 years just because you say so.... - Submitted by: kathy

Allman Brothers Band's, "Ramblin' Man"

The Misheard Lyrics:

I was born in the back seat of a ram bus.
or
I was born in the back seat of a gram bus.

The Real Lyrics:

I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus.

The Story: I was in the car with my dad. This song was on the radio, and I could not figure out what kind of a bus Mr. Allman (or whomever was the lead singer) was born in for the life of me. For the longest time, I thought it was 'ram bus,' like a bus made by Dodge. But then I heard the 'g' sound. So I asked my dad, 'What the heck is a gram bus?' Then he said very calmly and slowly, 'It's Greyhound Bus.' I would have never heard 'greyhound' in that mess. He slurs it into one syllable! Oh well, I should have known never to trust a band whose name I thought was 'Almond Brothers' until a few years ago. - Submitted by: Cat
