[Verse 1] Im a rambler Im a gambler Im a long ways from my home If you people dont like me Well, just leave me alone [Verse 2] For its dark, and its araining 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 didnt like me And now shes just the same So if Im writ on your books, gal Well, just you blot out my name [Verse 5] For theres changes in the ocean And theres changes in the sea And theres changes in my true love But there aint no change in me
