Don't fall in love with me, darling, I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake, dear, that I'm leaving
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Well, I handed you a lie and now I'm sorry
You're just a little sweeter than the rest
Believe me when I say I don't wanna hurt you
Or do anything to spoil your happiness

Don't fall in love with me, darling, I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake, dear, that I'm leaving
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Well, if I ever get the blues now, sweet baby
Or the lure of the highway on my mind
Lord, I long to hear that whistle of the freight train
And the boxcars as they rattle down the line

Don't fall in love with me, darling, 'cause I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake, dear, that I'm leaving
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Don't fall in love with me, darling, I'm a rambler
Though you are the sweetest sweetheart in this world
It's all for your sake, dear, that I'm leaving
So, don't give your heart to a rambler, little girl

Yeah, don't you give your heart to a rambler, little girl
