Always Been Rambler John Browns Dream

Gm C7 Gm C7 Gm I've always been a rambler, my fortune's been quite hard. Gm C7 Gm Always loved the women, drink whiskey and played cards. Gm C7 G7 My parents treated me kindly, as they had no boy but me Gm C7 Gm My mind was bent on rambling, at home I couldn't agree. Gm C7 Gm Gm C7 Gm There was a wealthy farmer who lived in the country by Gm C7 Gm He had one handsome daughter on who I cast an eye Gm C7 Gm She was so tall and handsome, so pretty and so fair Gm C7 Gm There ain't one girl in the wide world with her I could compare Gm C7 Gm Gm C7 Gm So I asked if it made any difference if I walked o'er the way Gm C7 Gm She said to me no difference so you return again Gm C7 Gm She said that she'd prove true to me until I proved unkind Gm C7 Gm So I shook hands and parted and left that girl behind Gm C7 Gm Gm C7 Gm I left old North Carolina, to Marion I did go Gm C7 Gm Then on to Johnson City, gonna see this wide world o'er Gm C7 Gm Where work and money was plentiful and the women treat me kind Gm C7 Gm The only object of my heart was the girl I left behind Gm C7 Gm Gm C7 Gm I rambled out one evening down on the public square Gm C7 Gm The mail had just arriven when the post-boy met me there Gm C7 Gm He handed me a letter which he gives me to understand Gm C7 Gm The girl I'd left in Carolina had married another man Gm C7 Gm Gm C7 Gm I read a few lines further 'til I found that it was true Gm C7 Gm My heart was filled with trouble, I didn't know what to do Gm C7 Gm My heart was filled with trouble, and trouble's on my mind Gm C7 Gm I'm goin' to drink and gamble for the one I left behind Gm C7 Gm
