[Chorus:]
Oh, I'm a rake and a ramblin' 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.

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm a rake and a ramblin' 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 ramblin' boy (ramblin' 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.

[Repeat two lines]
And I love her dearer than I love my life.
