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
