I cut my teeth on a poker chip
My daddy left laying behind
They said it was a demon from the bottom
But my mama said they were lying
So I never stay in one place long
I'm just a natural born rambler
My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl
And my daddy was a riverboat gambler
So don't kiss my cheek and look at me With staying in your eyes
For marriage is like shooting against A pair of loaded dice
You'd better throw your hand in For you just can't hold this rambler
My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl
And my daddy was a riverboat gambler
I'll say you're the closest thing To love I've ever known
But without the feel of the paddle wheel I'd never be at home
Well I must go for I just heard The river call this rambler
My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl
And my daddy was a riverboat gambler
So don't kiss my cheek and look at me With staying in your eyes
For marriage is like shooting against A pair of loaded dice
You'd better throw your hand in For you just can't hold this rambler
My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl
And my daddy was a riverboat gambler
My mama was a Dodge City dance hall girl
And my daddy was a riverboat gambler
