C .
Well I'm a rake and a rambling boy
F C
There's many a city I did enjoy
F C
And now I've married me a pretty little wife
G C
And I love her dearer than I love my life
C .
Oh, she was pretty, both neat and gay
F C
Caused me to rob the broad highway
F C
Oh, yes, I robbed it, I do declare
G C
And I got myself ten thousand bail
C .
Well I'm a rake and a rambling boy
F C
There's many a city I did enjoy
F C
And now I've married me a pretty little wife
G C
And I love her dearer than I love my life
C .
Oh when I die don't bury me at all
F C
Place my bones in alcohol
F C
And at my feet place a white snow dove
G C
To tell the world that I died for love
C .
Well I'm a rake and a rambling boy
F C
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
