lyrics

I'M A ROVER

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 night be as dark as dungeon,
not a star can be seen above
I will be guided without a stumble,
into the arms of my own 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 window,
kneeling gently upon a stone
He whispers through her bedroom window,
my darling dear do you lie alone

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

It's only me your own true lover,
open the door and let me in
For I have come on a long nights journey
and I'm near drenched to 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 with 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 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 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
