RAMBLER GAMBLER
Traditional folk song
Joan Baez
Key: Bb

4 4 5 6 -6 6 5 4
I’m a ramb-ler, I’m a gamb-ler
6 6 -6 7 7 -8
I’m a long way from home
7 7 8 7 -66 -6 4
And if peo-ple don’t like me
6 6 -6 6 4 -4
They can leave me a-lone

For it’s dark and it’s rainin’
And the moon gives no light
And my pony can’t travel
This dark road at night

Oh, I once had me a true love
Her age was sixteen
She was the flower of Belton
And the rose of Saline

But her parents didn’t like me
Now she’s just the same
If I’m writ on your books, gal
Just blot out my name

I’m a rambler, I’m a gambler
I’m a rambler, I’m a gambler

When magic filled the air,
T’was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her.
Her, her….yea.
Ain’t nothing I can do, no.

Gonna ramble on, sing my song
Gotta keep-a-searchin’ for my baby…
Gonna work my way, round the world
I can’t stop this feelin’ in my heart
Gotta keep searchin’ for my baby
I can’t find my bluebird!
I’d listen to my bluebird sing but I can’t find my blue bird
A-keep-a ramblin’ baby…
