I'm a Rake And a Ramblin' Boy
Well I'm a rake and ramblin' boy
There's many a city I did enjoy
And now I've married me a pretty little wife
and I love her dearer than I love my life
Oh she was pretty both neat and gay
caused me to rob the broad highway
Oh yes I robbed it I do declare
And I got myself ten thousand bail
Well I'm a rake and ramblin' boy
There's many a city I did enjoy
And now I've married me a pretty little wife
and I love her dearer than I love my life
Oh when I die don't bury me at all
place my bones in alcohol
and at my feet place a snow white dove
to let the world know I died for love
Well I'm a rake and a ramblin' boy
There's many a city I did enjoy
And now I've married me a pretty little wife
and I love her dearer than I love my life
and I love her dearer than I love my life
