I'm a Rover

I must away now, I cannot tarry
This morning’s tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a stumble
Into the arms that I love the most
For I’m a rover, seldom sober
I’m a rover of high degree
It’s when I’m drinking I’m always thinking
How to gain my love’s company
And when he came to his true love’s dwelling
He knelt down gently upon a stone
And through the window he whispered slowly
«Is my true lover within at home?»
For I’m a rover, seldom sober
I’m a rover of high degree
It’s when I’m drinking I’m always thinking
How to gain my love’s company
Wake up, wake up, love
'Tis your own true lover
Wake up, wake up, love and let me in
For I am wet, love and I am weary
For I am wet, love unto my skin
She raised her up with the greatest of pleasure
She raised her up and she let him in
And they were locked in eachother’s arms, dear
'Til the long night was passed and gone
For I’m a rover, seldom sober
I’m a rover of high degree
It’s when I’m drinking I’m always thinking
How to gain my love’s company
And when the long night was passed and gone
And when the small clouds began to go
He’s ta’en her hand, aye, they kissed and parted
He saddled and mounted and away did go
For I’m a rover, seldom sober
I’m a rover of high degree
It’s when I’m drinking I’m always thinking
How to gain my love’s company
