Well, I been down livin' on the street
Been playing for change
To a crowd of moving feet
Well, they call me high, but I never felt so low
And in this world, I got nowhere to go
What ever happened to the time of the rambler?
Livin' in the Big Rock Candy Mountain days
Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler
But the game won't ever change
Well, I watch all the cars drivin' down the highway
And I wonder how, how much did they pay?
Well I see their faces never smilin' my way
And I wonder how, how long is their day?
What ever happened to the time of the rambler?
Livin' in the Big Rock Candy Mountain days
Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler
But the game won't ever change
Well, I watch all the rich folks
They seem to do so well
Hiding in their houses, perched up on the hills
Can it buy you freedom?
Wishin' for the day when all your sadness
Suddenly melts away
What ever happened to the time of the rambler?
Livin' in the Big Rock Candy Mountain days
Well, it seems to be there ain't nothin' left for the gambler
But the game won't ever change
But the game won't ever change
Ah, but the game won't ever change
