Rake and The Rambling Blade

I am a rake and a restless one
From the eastern shores I’ve went, I’ve come
To learn my books, to learn my trade
Some call me the rake and the rambling blade

I came here spendin money free a spendin’ money at balls and plays
At last my money grew very low
And so to robbing I did go
I robbed old Nelson, I do declare I robbed him on Saint James’ square
I robbed him of five thousand pounds
Dividing with my comrades ‘round
There’s many a lady who’ll for me weep
Many a lady who for me cares
Pretty Nelly weeps tears down her hair
The lady left in the dark despair
And when I’m dead and laid away
And a final funeral’s preached o’er my head
All around my grave play tunes of joy
Sing, “away goes the rake and the rambling boy.”
