Joan Baez - Rambler Gambler Lyrics

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

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

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
