Rambling Rover |
| Oh there’s sober men &plenty |
| And drunkards barely twenty |
| There are men of over ninety |
| That have never yet kissed a girl. |
| But give me a rambling rover |
| Fae Orkney down to Dover |
| We will roam the country over |
| And together we’ll face the world. |
| I’ve roamed through all the nations |
| Ta’en delight in all creation |
| And I’ve tried a wee sensation |
| Where the company did prove kind. |
| When parting was no pleasure |
| I’ve drunk another measure |
| To the good friends that we treasure |
| For they always are in our mind. |
| There’s many that feign enjoyment |
| From merciless employment |
| Their ambition was this deployment |
| From the minute they left the school |
| And they save and scrape and ponder, |
| While the rest go out and squander |
| See the world and rove and wander — |
| And they’re happier as a rule. |
| If you’re bent with arthritis |
| Your bowels have got colitis |
| You’ve galloping ballicitus |
| And you’re thinking it’s time you died. |
| If you’ve been a man of action |
| While you’re lying there in traction |
| You may gain some satisfaction |
| Thinking Jesus, at least I’ve tried. |
