Google has given me some very different versions (Ramblin' Jack, Joan Baez...) but I can't seem to find these. |

I'm a rake and a rambling boy There's many a city I've rambled through There's many a city I've bummed my way And I've spent my money and ___________ play In Greenville city I married me a wife And I loved her better than I did my life I dressed her up so neat and gay Till she caused me to rob on the old highway In Charleston city I bought me a ticket And on the train I did sit down _____________and the train did go In about five days I landed home I landed home and began to die There's many a girl for me will cry All those tears they've shed for me Won't save me from these gallows tree Oh Love oh Love come and keep these lines They may be the last you'll read of mine And when I'm dead come and sing for joy Sing for the last of the ramblin' boy |
