The Gamboling Man - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
THE GAMBOLING MAN. 
I am a roving traveler, And go from town to town; Whene'er I see a table spread, So merrily I sit down, So merrily I sit down; Whene'er I see a table spread. So merrily I sit down. 
I had not been traveling But a few days, perhaps three, When I fell in love with a London girl. And she in love with me, And she in love with me; When I fell in love with a London girl, And she in love with me. 
She took me to her dwelling And cooled me with a fan; She whisper'd low in her mother's ear: "I love the gamboling man, I love the gamboling man; She whispered low in her mother's ear: "I love the gamboling man." 
"Oh, daughter, dear daughter, How could you treat me so, To leave your poor old mother And with the gamboler go, And with the gamboler go; To leave your poor old mother And with the gamboler go? " 
"'Tis true I love you dearly, 'Tis true I love you well, But the love I have for the gamboling man No human tongue can tell, No human tongue can tell; The I have for the gamboling man No human tongue can tell. 
"So I'll bundle up my clothing, With him will leave my home; I'll travel the world over Wherever he may roam, Wherever he may roam; I'll travel the world over Wherever he may roam."
