Oh little honey : don't you make me go
I'll get a job : *if you allow me to*
I am a rambling gambling man : I gamble in many towns
I rambled this wide world over : I rambled and traveled 
around
I had my ups and downs in life : and bitter times I saw
But I never knew what misery was : till I left old 
Arkansas
I started out one morning : to meet the early train
He says you better work for me : I asked old Liza Jane
I'll give you fifty cents today :  *on*
And *yesterday*  : *was filled with ice and snow*
