ÉN MINDIG IS RAMBLER VOLTAM
előterjesztette: Lyle Lofgren
(Eredetileg megjelent: A Bluegrass belsejében, 2005. május)

Ebben a hónapban egy másik csavart fogunk megvizsgálni a Viszonzatlan szerelmi történet, amely Dr. Phil (vagy talán talán Judy bíró) bármelyik délután. A narrátor egy teljes rotter: a részeg, vándorló szerencsejátékos, aki panaszkodik, mert a lány, akit elhagyott Hátul valami jobbat választott. Nem megy kezelésre, De azonban. Dacosan folytatni fogja az önpusztító mintáját. Ez nem a könnyű út, de ez a cowboy út. [...]

1. I've always been a rambler, my fortune's been quite hard.
Always loved the women, drink whiskey and played cards.
My parents treated me kindly, they had no boy but me,
My mind was bent on rambling, at home I couldn't agree.

2. There was a wealthy farmer who lived in the country by.
Had one handsome daughter on who I cast an eye.
She was so tall and handsome, so pretty and so fair,
There ain't one girl in the wide world with her I could compare.

3. So I asked if it made any difference if I crossed o'er the plain.
She says it'll make no difference so you return again.
She said that she'd prove true to me until I proved unkind.
Kissed, shook hands and parted with the one I left behind.

4. I left old North Caroliner, to Marion I did go,
Then on to Johnson City, gonna see this wide world o'er.
Where money and work was plentiful and the girls treated me kind,
The only object of my heart was the one I left behind.

5. I rambled out 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 give me to understand
The girl I'd left in Caroliner had married another man.

6. I read a few lines further 'til I found that it was true.
My heart was filled with trouble, I didn't know what to do.
My heart was filled with trouble, while trouble's on my mind,
Going to drink and gamble for the one I left behind.
