I'm A Rover

Lyrics

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 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 night's journey
 More than near drenched tae 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 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
