I'm a Rover

Ye Vagabonds

I must away now, I cannot tarry This morning's tempest I have to cross I well be guided without a stumble Into the arms that I love the most I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company At last he came to his true love's dwelling He sat on down there upon a stone And through her window he whispered softly "Is my true lover within at home?" I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company She raised hеr head then fell off hеr pillow She raised the blanket from off her breast And through her window she whispered softly "Who is disturbing me from my night's rest?" I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company Get up, get up, now, it's your true lover Get up, get up, now and let me in For I am weary of my long journey And I am wet right into the the skin I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company She raised her head then fell off her pillow She raised the set and she let him in And they were locked in each other's arms Until the long night was past and gone I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company
