The Carter Family - Rambling boy

I was ^Fraised but a rambling boy ^F To many a city I did enjoy ^F And there I married me a pretty little wife ^F And I loved her ^Cdearer than I love my ^Flife

She was ^Fpretty both neat and gay ^F She caused me rob the road highway ^F I robbed it yes I do declare ^F I made my^Cself ten thousand ^Fthere

Plenty dry ^Fgoods for to carry me through ^F My pistol swore like money too ^F My forty four she never failed ^F My true love ^Ccome for to go my ^Fbail

My mother ^Fsaid she has no home ^F My sister said she's all alone ^F My wife she's left with sad despair ^F With a broken ^Cheart and a baby ^Fthere

Now when I ^Fdie don't bury me at all ^F Just place me away in alcohol ^F My forty four lay by my feet ^F Please tell them ^CI am just a^Fsleep.....
