Rake and Rambling 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 [Verse 1] 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 there [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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] And I love her dearer than I love my life
