(There's more pretty girls than one). I am a rambling man I just ramble this world around. I've always been a roubler boy since my girl turned me down.
I've got a tender hearted baby and the least little thing will make her cry. That's why tonight I dread to see her cause I'm gonna have to tell her goodbye.
Take my hand for awhile explain it to me once again. Just for the sake of my broken heart. Look into my eyes and maybe I will understand. Our love I counted on was never there.
Well I got my mail late last night a letter from a girl who found the time to write. To her lonesome boy somewher's in the night. She sent me a railroad ticket too to take me to her lovin' arms.
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river. You can hear the boats go by you can stay the night beside her. And you know she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.
I'm a roving gambler gambled all around. Whenever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down. I gambled down in Washington gambled over in Spain.
When the postman delievered a letter it filled her dear heart full of joy. But she didn't know till she read the end sign. It was the last one from her darling boy.
Doo, doo, doo, doo. Doo, doo, doo, doo. . We had a quarrel. A teenage quarrel. Now I'm as blue as I know how to be. I can't call you on the phone. I can't even see you at your home.
Roll muddy river roll on muddy river roll on. I've got a notion you'll go to the ocean alone. Cause I've got a baby in Tennessee who's long been awaitin' for little ole me.
After the war was over I was coming home to you. I saw a rainbow at midnight out on the ocean blue. The stars up in heaven were shining the moon gave its light from above.
A boy loved a little girl a long time ago. But he was shy and too afraid to tell her so. When he learned to write the first thing that he did. Was sendin' note to her and this is what it said.
Oh these many years I've loved you no one has ever known. No one has ever known but you alone. I've kept it locked inside my heart and smiled though all my tears.
I'm saving my money to buy you a rainbow a rainbow to fit on your finger. After I've gone and bought you the rainbow I'll go out and I'll buy you the moon.
I know your leaving's too long overdue. For far too long I've had nothing new to show you. Goodbye dry eyes I've watched your plain feet off west to the moon.
I've seen the way you handle other guys. I watched the water fall from their eyes. Your little world of love is so unfair. It'd be a nice place to visit but I'd sure hate to live there.
There's a long line of mourners driving down our little street. Their fancy cars are such a sight to see. They're all of your rich friends that knew you in the city.
There's a wedding today mine I know a heart that's so gay mine. Just over the hill I know I will be able to see. The old church steeple and all the people waitin' for me.
One winter's Eve I went a walking out beyond the city gate. For to fetch a fresh young pheasant for my darling's dinner plate. It was snowing oh so quietly and the woods were wide and soft.
Life is like a mountain railroad. With an engineer that's brave. We must make each run successful. From the cradle to the grave. . Watch the curves, the fills, the tunnels.
I've got a funny feeling this mornin' on my paper out. Cause all the curtains and blinds were missin' from my Linda's house. And in the screen I found the note written in Linda's lonely way.
