I'm a Rake And a Ramblin' Boy 

CHORUS:

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.



Chorus



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.
