Tom Russell - Rambler, Gambler
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler
C D
I'm a long way from my home
G Em
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
G Em
My pony can't hardly travel
Am D
On this dark road tonight
[Verse 3]
G
You know I once had me a sweetheart
C D
Lord, her age was just sixteen
G Em
She was the flower of Belton
Am D
She was the rose of Saline
[Verse 4]
G
But her parents they didn't like me
C D
And now she's gone the same
G Em
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
And there's changes in the sea
G Em
There's changes in my true love
Am D
But there ain't no change in me
[Verse 6]
G
I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler
C D
I'm a long way from my home
G Em
You people, you don't like me
Am D
Well, just leave me alone
