Rake and The Rambling Blade - (Featured Single)

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.”

7. It Doesn’t Matter Anymore 
There you go and baby here am I
Well you left me here so I could sit and cry 
Golly gee, what have you done to me 
Well I guess it doesn’t matter anymore 
Do you remember baby last September 
How you held me tight each and every night 
Oh baby how you drove me crazy 
But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore 

Chorus 
There’s no use in me a crying 
I’ve done everything and now I’m sick of tryin 
I’ve thrown away my nights 
Wasted all my days over you 

Now you go your way baby and I’ll go mine 
Now and forever till the end of time 
And I’ll find somebody new 
And baby we’ll say we’re through 
And you won’t matter anymore 

Repeat chorus 
Now you go your way baby and I’ll go mine 
Now and forever till the end of time 
And I’ll find somebody new 
And baby we’ll say we’re through 
And you won’t matter anymore 
You won’t matter anymore 
You won’t matter anymore

8. I’ll Love Nobody but You 
I’ll never love anybody but you baby, baby 
I’ll never love anybody but you if you’ll be my girl 
Chorus 
Oh yes, believe me it’s true 
Oh yes, I’ll love nobody but you 
I’ll always be true to you baby, baby 
I’ll always be true to you if you be my girl 
Chorus 
I’ll take you out every night baby, baby 
I’ll take you out every night if you’ll be my girl 
Chorus 
I’ll never love anybody but you baby, baby 
I’ll never love anybody but you if you’ll be my girl 
Chorus
