verse 1

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler
      C                D
I'm a long way from my home

You people, you don't like me
           Am        D
Well, just leave me alone

verse 2
           G
For it's a dark night and it's raining
          C             D
Lord, the moon gives no light

My pony can't hardly travel
        Am          D
On this dark road tonight

You know I once had me a sweetheart
     C                    D
Lord, her age was just sixteen

She was the flower of Belton
            Am        D
She was the rose of Saline

But her parents they didn't like me
    C                  D
And now she's gone the same

If I'm writ on your book, love
         Am          D
Just you blot out my name


Verse 5
            G
And there's changes in the weather
            C              D

There's changes in my true love
          Am                 D
But there ain't no change in me

You people, you don't like me
           Am        D
Well, just leave me alone
