I'm A Rake And Ramblin' Boy

(альбом: Looking For The Sunshine - 1983)

Oh, I'm a rake and a rambling 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

Oh, I'm a rake and a rambling 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 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 rambling boy (rambling 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
