 To 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 

Verse 2:

 I made myself ten thousand there

Plenty dry goods for to carry me through

 My pistol swore like money too

 My forty four she never failed

 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

 My wife she's left with sad despair

 With a broken heart and a baby there

           F 
Now when I die don't bury me at all 
F 
 Just place me away in alcohol

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