Rambling Gambler

I'm a rambler and a gambler
 And a long ways from home
 If the people don't like me
 They can leave me alone
 Oh, it's dark and it's a-rainin'
 And the moon gives no light
 My pony won't travel
 On this dark road at night
 Go put up your pony
 And give him some hay
 Come take your seat by me
 Just as long as you stay
 My pony isn't hungry
 No, he won't eat your hay
 We're headed for Wyoming
 We're gonna graze on the way
 I used to have me a pretty little sweetheart
 Her age was nineteen
 She was the flower of Belton
 And the rose of Saline
 But her parents were against me
 And now she is the same
 If I'm on your book, love
 Won't you blot out my name
 I'm a rambler and a gambler
 And a long ways from home
 If the people don't like me
 They can leave me alone
 Oh, it's dark and it's a-rainin'
 And the moon gives no light
 My pony won't travel
 On this dark road at night
