[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C][F][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]I was raised
a rape and a [F]ramblin' [C]boy
Too many a shore there I've been
To
London
City I [F]made my [C]way
And I [F]lost my [C]money [G]in a gambling [C]way
It was there that I married me a [F]loving [C]wife
And I loved her as dear as I loved my
life I dressed her up in [F]silk so [C]gay
And she [F]taught me to [C]walk [G]on the
broad high[C]way[F][C][F][C][F][C][G]
[C]
I bought my ticket in
[F]Green
[C]Motel
And on that train I sat down
The whistle blew, and the [F]train rolled [C]on
In [F]about five [C]days, [G]I landed h[C]ome
I robbed that train, I [F]do de[C]clare
I robbed it on
Dames
Island
Square
I robbed it of 10 [F],000 [C]pounds,
but [F]not when [C]I w[G]as ramblin' r[C]ound.[F][C][F][G]
[C][F][C][G][C]
And now I am compelled [F]to [C]die
For me, my true love will weep and cry
Her tears so sweet, and her [F]tears so [C]free
But they [F]won't save [C]me
[G]from the gallows [C]tree
Now when I'm dead, [F]oh, bury me [C]too
Place a marble stone at my head and feet
And on my grave placed
the [F]wings of a [C]dove
To [F]prove to the [C]world [G]that I
died for [C]love[F][C][F]
[G]Hmmmm.[C][F]
[C]Hmmmmm.
[G]Hmmmmm.[C]
