I'm a Rover
Author Unknown
Chorus:
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.
'Tis many a night I am going to ramble.
'Tis many a night I am going to roam.
'Tis many a night I am going to ramble
Into the arms of my own true love.
(Chorus)
Though the night be dark as dungeons,
Still a star can be seen above.
I will be guided without a stumble
Into the arms of my own true love.
(Chorus)
He stepped it up to her bedroom windows.
He tapped softly upon the pane.
He whispered through her bedroom window,
"My darlin' dear, do you lie alone?"
(Chorus)
She raised her head from her down-soft pillow,
Weave her arms all about her breasts.
Said, "Who is that at me bedroom windows
Disturbing me at my long night's rest?"
(Chorus)
"My darlin' dear, it's thy own true lover,
Open the door and let me in.
For I have travelled this long night's journey
For to be in thine arms again."
(Chorus)
She opened the door with the greatest pleasure,
Opened the door and let him in.
And they touched hand and embraced each other,
Until the morning they lay as one.
(Chorus)
"My darlin' dear, now I must leave you
To climb the hills, they are far above.
But I shall climb with the greatest pleasure:
I've been in the arms of mine own true love!"
(Chorus)
