[Chorus] Well, Im a rake and ramblin boy Theres many a city I did enjoy And now Ive married me a pretty little wife And I love her dearer than I love my life [Verse] 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 bare [Chorus] Well, Im a rake and ramblin boy Theres many a city I did enjoy And now Ive married me a pretty little wife And I love her dearer than I love my life [Verse] Oh when I die, dont bury me at all Place my bones in alcohol And at my feet, place a white snow dove To tell the world that I died for love [Chorus] Well Im a rake and a ramblin boy Theres many a city I did enjoy And now Ive 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
dearer, ramblin, rake, love, married
