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 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

I'm a Rake And a Ramblin' Boy - Joan Baez
