Kingston Trio - I'm A Rake And Rambin' Boy lyrics

rate me

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)

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.
