Rambling Boy
Charlie Haden & Bruce Hornsby

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 dearer than I love 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 made myself ten thousand there


Plenty dry goods for to carry me through

My pistol, swords are mighty two

My forty four she never fails

My true love comes for to go my bale



My mother said she has no home

My sister said she's all alone

My wife she's left with [Incomprehensible] despair

With a broken heart and a baby there


Now when I die don't bury me at all

Just place me away in alcohol

My forty four layin' by my feet

Please tell them I am just asleep
