Rude and Rambling Man

歌詞

When I was a rude and rambling man I bought my ticket to London Town To London City I paid my way To spend my money in a gambling way I hadn't been there but a week or so Till I married me a wife, she troubled me so To support that girl both nice and gay She cuased me to rob the road highway I robbed the train I will declare I robbed it on the public square On Sunday night I's roving around When I robbed it of ten thousand pound Now I am condemned to die And a many pretty girls for me will cry All their cries, they can't save me Or free me from the gallows tree To London City I paid my way I got on board and I took my seat The wheels did roll and the whistle did blow In about nine days I rolled in home My mama said she was all alone My sister said she would weep and moan My sweetheart sits in down despair Gold diamond rings and curly hair Oh, when I die don't bury me at all Go pickle my bones in alcohol Place a marble stone on my head and feet And go tell Hettie I'm just asleep
