rambling gambler

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And if people they don't like me, they can leave me alone

Unsaddle your pony, go feed him some hay
Come and sit down beside me for as long as you may

For I once had a sweetheart, her age was sixteen
The flower of Helsen, the rose of Salee

But her parents was against me, now she is the same
If I'm writ in your book love, just you blot out my name

For there's changes in the ocean, there's changes in the sea
There's changes in my true love, ain't no change in me

I'm a rambler I'm a gambler, I'm a long ways from home
And if people they don't like me, they can leave me alone

About
Quite nice to have the male (a cowboy no less) as the mourning constant lover, the one who has to unburden his heart to get peace of mind.
Because of the repeat of the first verse it is slightly ambiguous, though - is he constant towards his love, or being a gambler?
