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