G  C  D   G

[Chorus]
      G                                  C
Don’t fall in love with me darling I’m a rambler
   D                                             G
Al-though you’re the sweetest sweetheart in this world
     G                               C
It’s all for your sake dear that I’m leaving
      D                    D7              G
Don’t give your heart to a rambler, little girl

[Instrumental]
G   C  D   G X2

[Verse 1]
       G                           C
If I’d never had the blues, little darling
       D                       G
Or the lure of the road, on my mind
        G                              C
But I’m bound to hear the whistle of a freight train
        D               D7              G
And the boxcars as they rattle down the line

[Chorus]
      G                                  C
Don’t fall in love with me darling I’m a rambler
   D                                             G
Al-though you’re the sweetest sweetheart in this world
     G                               C
It’s all for your sake dear that I’m leaving
      D                    D7              G
Don’t give your heart to a rambler, little girl

[Instrumental]
G   C  D   G X2

[Verse 2]
  G                         C
I handed you a line and I’m sorry
       D                              G
You’re just a little sweeter than the rest
  G                                   C
Believe me when I say I don’t want to hurt you
      D           D7            G
Or do anything to mar your happiness

[Chorus]
      G                                  C
Don’t fall in love with me darling I’m a rambler
   D                                             G
Al-though you’re the sweetest sweetheart in this world
     G                               C
It’s all for your sake dear that I’m leaving
      D                    D7              G
Don’t give your heart to a rambler, little girl
