I'm a Rover |
| I’m a rover, seldom sober, I’m a rover of high degree |
| It’s when I’m drinkin' I’m always thinkin' how to gain my love’s company |
| Though the night be as dark as dungeon, not a star can be seen above |
| I will be guided without a stumble, into the arms of my own true love |
| I’m a rover, seldom sober, I’m a rover of high degree |
| It’s when I’m drinkin' I’m always thinkin' how to gain my love’s company |
| He stepped up to her bedroom window, kneeling gently upon a stone |
| He whispers through her bedroom window, my darling dear do you lie alone |
| I’m a rover, seldom sober, I’m a rover of high degree |
| It’s when I’m drinkin' I’m always thinkin' how to gain my love’s company |
| It’s only me your own true lover, open the door and let me in |
| For I have come on a long nights journey and I’m near drenched to the skin |
| I’m a rover, seldom sober, I’m a rover of high degree |
| It’s when I’m drinkin' I’m always thinkin' how to gain my love’s company |
| She opened the door with the greatest pleasure, she opened the door and she let |
| him in |
| They both shook hands and embraced each other, until the morning they lay as one |
| I’m a rover, seldom sober, I’m a rover of high degree |
| It’s when I’m drinkin' I’m always thinkin' how to gain my love’s company |
| Says I: My love I must go and leave you, to climb the hills they are far above |
| But I will climb with the greatest pleasure, since I’ve been in the arms of my |
| love |
| I’m a rover, seldom sober, I’m a rover of high degree |
| It’s when I’m drinkin' I’m always thinkin' how to gain my love’s company |
