I’m a Rover – Ye Vagabonds
I must away now, I cannot tarry
This morning’s tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a stumble
By the arms I love the most
Chorus
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?"
Chorus
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?"
Chorus and Break
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 unto the skin
Chorus
She raised her head then fell off her pillow
She raised her set and she let him in
And they were locked in each other's arms
Until the long night was past and gone
Chorus and Break
I must away now, I cannot tarry
This morning’s tempest I have to cross
I will be guided without a stumble
By the arms I love the most
Chorus x 2
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
