Rambler Gambler

[Verse 1]
I'm a rambler; I'm a gambler
I'm a long ways from my home
If you people don't like me
Well, just leave me alone

[Verse 2]
For it's dark, and it's a-raining
And the moon gives no light
And my pony can hardly travel
On this dark road at night

[Verse 3]
You know, I once had me a true love
Lord, her age was just sixteen
She was the flower of Belton
And the rose of Saline

[Verse 4]
But her parents they didn't like me
And now she's just the same
So if I'm writ on your books, gal
Well, just you blot out my name

[Verse 5]
For there's changes in the ocean
And there's changes in the sea
And there's changes in my true love
But there ain't no change in me
