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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There’s ne’er a night I’m going tae ramble, there’s ne’er a night I’m going tae roam,
There’s ne’er a night I’m going tae ramble, intae the airms of me ain true love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though the night be as dark as dungeon, not a star can be seen above,
I’ll take the road there without a stumble, into the arms of my own true love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I crept up to her bedroom window, leaning gently upon a stone,
I whispered softly through her bedroom window: “My darling dear must ye lie alane”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She raised her head from her down soft pillow, wi’ her arms around her breasts,
Says: “Who is that at my bedroom window disturbing me at my long night’s rest?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pray open the door my own true lover pray open door and let me in,
For I have come on a long night’s journey, and I’m near drenched to the skin.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She opened the door without a murmer, she opened the door and she let me in,
They kissing inside and embraced each other, until the morning they lay as yin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day was dawning the cock was calling’, the birds were whistling’, in every tree<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Farewell my true love for I must leave you for the long night has turned to day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
