I'm A Rover lyrics

There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble,

There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to roam

There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble,

Intae the erms of me ain true love

[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

Though the nicht be as dark as dungeon,

Not a star can be seen above

I will be guided without a stumble,

Intae the erms of my ain true love

[Chorus]

He stepped up tae her bedroom winday,

Kneeling gently upon a staine

He whispers through her bedroom winday:

"My darling dear do you lie alaine?"

[Chorus]

She raised her head from her down soft pillow,

Wi' her erms around her breasts

Says: ”Why is that at my bedroom winday

Is 'sterbing me at my long nicht's rest?”

[Chorus]

Says I: ”My love it's thy true lover,

Open the door and let me in!

For I am come on a long nights journey

More than near drenched tae the skin”

[Chorus]

She opened the door wi' the greatest pleasure,

She opened the door and she let him in

They baeth shook hands and embraced each other,

Until the morning they lay as one

[Chorus]

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!"

[Chorus]
