Rambler Gambler

[Chorus] I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler I'm a long way from home And if people don't like me They can leave me alone [verse] It's a dark night and it's lonesome And the moon gives no light My pony can't travel This dark road at night Well I had me a little sweetheart Her age was nineteen She was the flower of Belton And the rose of Saline But her parents didn't like me Now she's just the same If I'm writ on your books, love Just blot out my name [Chorus] I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler I'm a long way from home And if people don't like me They can leave me alone
