Chords

[Intro] F C F [Verse 1]
      F
I was raised but a rambling boy

F
 To many a city I did enjoy

F
 And there I married me a pretty little wife

F                C                     F
 And I loved her dearer than I love my life
[verse 2]
        F
She was pretty both neat and gay

F
 She caused me rob the road highway

F
 I robbed it yes I do declare

F         C                 F
 I made myself ten thousand there
[Instrumental] F C F [Verse 3]
           F
Plenty dry goods for to carry me through

F
 My pistol swore like money too

F
 My forty four she never failed

F             C                 F
 My true love come for to go my bail
[Verse 4]
          F
My mother said she has no home

F
 My sister said she's all alone

F
 My wife she's left with sad despair

F              C                F
 With a broken heart and a baby there
[Instrumental] F C F [Verse 5]
           F
Now when I die don't bury me at all

F
 Just place me away in alcohol

F
 My forty four lay by my feet

F                 C          F
 Please tell them I am just asleep.....
