I’m a rambler, I’m a gambler,
I’m a long way from my home,
If the people don’t like me
They can leave me alone.
It's a dark night and it's lonesome,
The moon gives no light,
My pony won't travel
This dark road tonight.
Come sit down beside me,
Come sit down right here,
Come sit down, love, I want you,
Love you boldly, so dear.
When you get to Wyoming
A letter you’ll see.
If you get into trouble
Just you write and tell me.

For I once had a lover
Her age was sixteen.
She’s a flower of Belton
And the rose of Saline.
Her parents was against me.
Now she is the same.
If I writ on your book, love
Just you blot out my name.
Oh there’s changes in the ocean,
There’s changes in the sea,
There’s changes in my true love,
Ain’t no change in me.
