歌词
There's ne'er a nicht I'm goin' to ramble, there's ne'er a nicht I'm goin' to roam
There's ne'er a nicht I'm goin' to ramble, into the arms of my ane 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
Though the nicht be as dark as dungeon, not a star can be seen above
I will be guided without a stumble, into the arms of my ane 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 one day, kneeling gently upon a staine
He whispers through her bedroom winday, my darling dear do you lie alaine
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 raised her head from her down soft pillow, wi' her arms around her breasts
Says: "Why is that that my bedroom winday disturbing me at my long night's rest?"
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 hi My love it's thy true lover, open the door and let me in
For I have come on a long nights journey more than near drenched to my 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 wi' 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 hi My love I must go and leave you, to climb the hills they are far above
But I will climb wi' 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
