The Roving Mind |
| As I cruised out one eve-e-ning upon a night’s career |
| I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer |
| I heisted out my sig-a-nals which she so quickly knew |
| And when she saw my bunting fly she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo |
| (She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets) |
| (She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind) |
| I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine |
| And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind |
| I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise |
| She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a dis-guy-eye-ise |
| (She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-eye-eye) |
| And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets |
| (She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind) |
| So, come all ye good sailor men who sail the wintry sea |
| And come, all ye apprentice lads, a warnin' take from me |
| Beware of lofty clipper ships, they’ll be the ruin of you |
| For 'twas there she made me walk the plank and pushed me under, too-ooh-ooh |
| (She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets) |
| She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind |
| (She was a nice girl, a proper girl but) |
| One of the rovin' kind (yo-ho!) |
