Lyrics for Rake And Rambling Boy

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 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, 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 that I died for love 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 And I love her dearer than I love my life
