Lyrics : Virginia Rambler

An old Virginia rambler
My fortune is quite hard
I always loved the women
Drunk whiskey and played cards

There lives a wealthy farmer
Over in the country-by
He had a lovely daughter
It was on her I cast my eye

I asked if it made any difference
If I should cross the line
She said it'd make no difference
If I'd return sometime

We shook hands and parted
The girl I left behind
The girl I left in Grayson
Was always on my mind

I was walking around one evening
Up and down the marble square
A-gazing at the river
The postman met me there

He handed me a letter
Which made me understand
The girl I left in Grayson
Had married another man

I asked her why she married
She said that I was gone
And now my heart is broken
And all my pleasures gone
