Rambler And Gambler

Cat. #0789 (MFH #436) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on June 25, 1969

VERSE 1
I'm a rambler an' a gambler
An' along ways from home
People don't like me
Can leave me alone

VERSE 2
O, put up your horses
An' feed them some hay
An' make yourself welcome
Wherever you stay

VERSE 3
My horses ain't hungry
An' they won't eat your hay
An' if they get hungry
I'll feed them on th way

VERSE 4
You parents don't like me
An' that I do know
They called me a drunkard
An' a gambler also

VERSE 5
Pretty Sally, pretty Sally
I'll tell you my mind
My mind is to ramble
An' leave you behind

VERSE 6
If th ocean was whiskey
And I was a duck
Dive to th bottom
An' never come up
