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 |
