TraditionalI’m a Rover Lyrics
There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble
There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane tae roam
There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble
Intae the airms o my ain true love
[Refrain]
I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking
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 airms o my ain true love
[Refrain]
I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
He stepped up tae her bedroom windae
Kneeling gently upon a staine
He whispers through her bedroom windae
"My darling dear dae ye lie alain?"
[Refrain]
I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
She raised her head from her down soft pillow
Wi' her airms around her breasts
Says: "Wha is that at my bedroom windae
Disturbing me at my lang night's rest?"
[Refrain]
I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
Says I, "My love, it's thy true lover, open the door and let me in
For I am come on my lang night's journey
More than near drenched tae the skin"
[Refrain]
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 opened the door wi' the greatest pleasure
She opened the door and she let him in
They bathe shook hands and embraced each other
Until the morning they lay as one
[Refrain]
I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking 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"
[Refrain]
I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
