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
