Rake & Rambling Boy Songtext
von 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.
