Rambler Gambler

by Ian & Sylvia

on Ian & Sylvia (1971), Ian And Sylvia (2006)

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

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

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

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

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
