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 ram-blin' boy. There's ma-ny a ci-ty I did en-joy, And now I've mar-ried me a pret-ty lit-tle wife and I love her dear-er 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 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. |
