Rake and Rambling - Joan Baez

I’m a Rake And a Ramblin' Boy

CHORUS:

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.
