Joan Baez - Rake and Rambling Boy


           C                   .
Well I'm a rake and a rambling boy
               F            C
There's many a city I did enjoy
             F                          C
And now I've married me a pretty little wife
               G                     C
And I love her dearer than I love my life


               C                     .
   Oh, she was pretty, both neat and gay
                F                 C
   Caused me to rob the broad highway
              F                 C
   Oh, yes, I robbed it, I do declare
               G                 C
   And I got myself ten thousand bail

           C                   .
Well I'm a rake and a rambling boy
               F            C
There's many a city I did enjoy
             F                          C
And now I've married me a pretty little wife
               G                     C
And I love her dearer than I love my life


             C                 .
   Oh when I die don't bury me at all
         F               C
   Place my bones in alcohol
          F                          C
   And at my feet place a white snow dove
               G                     C
   To tell the world that I died for love


           C                   .
Well I'm a rake and a rambling boy
               F            C
There's many a city I did enjoy
             F                          C
And now I've married me a pretty little wife
               G                     C
And I love her dearer than I love my life
               G                     C
