I've Always Been A Rambler - G.B. Grayson/Henry Whitter[00:00:00]
I've always been a rambler my fortune's been quite hard[00:00:21]
Always loved the women drink whiskey and played cards[00:00:27]
My parents treated me kindly they had no boy but me[00:00:31]
My mind was bent on rambling at home I couldn't agree[00:00:36]
There was a wealthy farmer who lived in the country by[00:00:46]
Had one handsome daughter on who I cast an eye[00:00:51]
She was so tall and handsome so pretty and so fair[00:00:56]
There ain't one girl in the wide world with her I could compare[00:01:01]
So I asked if it made any difference if I crossed o'er the plain[00:01:19]
She says it'll make no difference so you return again[00:01:24]
She said that she'd prove true to me until I proved unkind[00:01:29]
Kissed shook hands and parted with the one I left behind[00:01:34]
I left old North Caroliner to Marion I did go[00:01:52]
Then on to Johnson City gonna see this wide world o'er[00:01:57]
Where money and work was plentiful and the girls treated me kind[00:02:02]
The only object of my heart was the one I left behind[00:02:07]
I rambled out one evening down on the public square[00:02:29]
The mail had just arriven when the post-boy met me there[00:02:34]
He handed me a letter which give me to understand[00:02:38]
The girl I'd left in Caroliner had married another man[00:02:43]
I read a few lines further 'til I found that it was true[00:02:48]
My heart was filled with trouble I didn't know what to do[00:02:52]
My heart was filled with trouble while trouble's on my mind[00:02:57]
Going to drink and gamble for the one I left behind[00:03:02]
