I'm a Rover Lyrics
There`s ne`er a nicht I`m gane to ramble, there`s ne`er a nicht I`m gane to roam
There`s ne`er a nicht I`m gane to ramble, intae the erms of me ain 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, intae the erms of my ain 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 tae her bedroom winday, kneeling gently upon a staine
He whispers through her bedroom winday, my darling dear do ye 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 erms around her breasts
Says: "Why is that that my bedroom winday is `sterbing me at my long nicht`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 I: "My love it's I 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 I: 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
There`s ne`er a nicht I`m gane to ramble, intae the erms of me ain 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, intae the erms of my ain 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 tae her bedroom winday, kneeling gently upon a staine
He whispers through her bedroom winday, my darling dear do ye 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 erms around her breasts
Says: "Why is that that my bedroom winday is `sterbing me at my long nicht`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 I: "My love it's I 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

But I will climb wi` the greatest pleasure, since I've been in the arms of my love
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
