I'm a rambler I'm a gambler I'm a long way from home If you people don't like me You can leave me alone 'Cause I once had Me a sweetheart Lord when I was sixteen I was the flower of Belton And the rose of Saline But his parents They didn't like me And now he's Just the same If I'm writ on Your book love You can blot out my name 'Cause I'm a rambler I'm a gambler I'm a long way from home If you people Don't like me You can leave me alone
