[G]
[D] [G]
I was rich but a rambling boy, through many a city I did enjoy, and there I married me
a pretty little wife, and I [D] loved her dear, and [G] I loved my life.
She was pretty, both neat and gay, she caused me to rob the road highway.
I robbed it, yes, I do declare, I [D] made myself ten [G] thousand lire.
[D] [G]
Plenty of dry goods gonna carry me through, my fists so small, like bunny tooth.
I'm forty-four, she never fails, my [D] true love comes, [G] far to go my pace.
My mother says she has no home, my sister says she's all alone.
I watch these lepers that disperse, with [D] a broken heart [G] and a baby fur.
Now
[D] [G]
when I die, don't bury me at all, just place me away in alcohol.
I'm forty-four, laid by my feet, please [D] tell them why I'm [G] just asleep.
