I'm a Rover

There's never a nicht I'm gane to ramble

There's never a nicht I'm gane to roam

There's never a nicht I'm gane to ramble

Intake the arms of the one I love

I'm a rover seldom sober

I'm a rover by degree

It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking

How to gain my love's company

Though the nicht be as dark as dungeon

Not a star can be seen above

I will be guided without a stumble

Intake the arms of the one I love

I'm a rover seldom sober

I'm a rover by degree

It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking

How to gain my love's company

He seldom stepped up to the bedroom window

Kneeling gently on a stone

He whispers through to her bedroom window

Is my darling is there at home

I'm a rover seldom sober

I'm a rover by degree

It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking

How to gain my love's company

She raised her head from her down soft pillow

With her arms around her breasts

Says why is that that my bedroom window

Is sterbing me from my long nicht's rest

I'm a rover seldom sober

I'm a rover by degree

It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking

How to gain my love's company

Says I my love it's your own true lover

Open the door and let me in

They both shook hands and embraced each other

Till the morning they lay as one

I'm a rover seldom sober

I'm a rover by degree

It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking

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 the one I love

Yes I'm a rover seldom sober

I'm a rover by degree

It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking

How to gain my love's company

It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking

How to gain my love's company
