Rake And Rambling Boy
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
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 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
Oh when I die
Don’t bury me at all
Place my bones in alcohol
And at my feet
Place a white snow dove
To tell the world
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
