always been a rambler / john brown's dream - red tail ring lyrics

Loading...

i’ve always been a rambler, my fortune’s been quite hard
i’ve always loved the women, drank whiskey and played cards
my parents treated me kindly as they had no boy but me
my mind was set on rambling and at home i couldn’t agree

i met wealthy farmer who lived in the country by
he had one handsome daughter, on her i cast my eye
she was so tall and handsome, so pretty and so fair
there ain’t one girl in this wide world with her i could compare

so i asked her if it made any difference if i walked over that plain
she said it made no difference, ‘till you return again
she said that she’d prove true to me until i proved unkind
so i shook hands and parted and left that girl behind

so i left old north carolina to marion i did go
went on to johnson city, gonna see that wide world o’er
where the work and money are plentiful and the women treat me kind
the only object of my heart was the girl i left behind

i rambled off 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’d give me to understand
the girl i left in carolina had married another man

i read a few lines further ‘till i learned that it was true
my heart was filled with trouble, i didn’t know what to do
my heart was filled with trouble, and trouble was on my mind
i’m going to drink and gamble for the one i left behind
