Chorus:
Oh, i'm a rake and a ramblin' boy. there's many a city, lord, i
Did enjoy,
But now i'm married, got a pretty little wife and i love her
Dearer than i love my life.
Oh, she was pretty and owed me a deal caused me to rob that
Broad highway
Oh, yes, i robbed it, i do declare. i got the city ten thousand
Bales.
(chorus)
And when i die (and when i die) don't bury me at all (bury me at
All)
Just place my bones, lord, in alcohol and at my feet, a snow
White dove to let the world know i died for love.
Oh, i'm a rake (i'm a rake) and a ramblin' boy (ramblin' boy).
There's many a city, lord, i did enjoy.
But now i'm married, got a pretty little wife and i love her
Dearer than i love my life. (repeat two lines)
And i love her dearer than i love my life.
