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.
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.
And i love her dearer than i love my life.
