Rake

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.

Chorus

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.
