I'm bound to follow the longhorn cows until I git too old,
It's well I work for wages, boys, and git my pay in gold.
My bosses, they all like me well, they say I'm hard to beat,

- Rambling gambler
I'm a rambler Lord I'm a gambler

And the moon gives off no light
My pony can't hardly travel

Be my woman, gal, I'll be your Man (x3)
Every Sunday's dollar in your hand
In your hand, lordy, in your hand
Every Sunday's dollar in your hand
Stick to the promise, gal, that you made me (x3)
Won’t got married till I go free
When she walks she reel and rocks behind (x3)
