Written by Jimmie Skinner

Key of G · Chords: I IV V

Chorus

      G                                  C
Don’t fall in love with me darling I’m a rambler
         D                                 G
Although you’re the sweetest sweetheart in this world
     G                           C
It’s all for your sake dear that I’m leaving
      D                             G
Don’t give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Verse 1

  G                      C
I handed you a line dear and I’m sorry
       D             G
You’re just a little sweeter that the rest
        G                     C
Believe me when I say I don’t want to hurt you
   D                  G
Or do anything to mar our happiness

Verse 2

   G                               C
If I’d never had the blues, little darling
   D                             G
Or the lure of the road, dear on my mind
    G                             C
But I’m bound to hear the whistle of a freight train
    D                          G
And the boxcars as they rattle down the line
