Songtext von Rake

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.
