Verse 1:
(D)I was raised but a rambling boy
Too many a city I did enjoy
And there I married me a pretty little wife
And I loved her(A7) dearer than I love my (D)life
verse 2:
(D)She was pretty both neat and gay
She caused me rob the road highway
I robbed it yes I do declare
I made myself(A7) ten thousand (D)there

(D)Plenty dry goods for to carry me through
My pistol swore like money too
My forty four she never failed
My true love(A7 come for to go my(D) bale
verse 4:
(D) My mother said she has no home
My sister said she's all alone
My wife she's left with sad despair
With a broken(A7) heart and a baby(D) there

(D)Now when I die dont bury me at all
Just place me away in alcohol

Please tell them(A7) I am just(D) asleep.....
