[G] [A]
[G] There's never a night [C] I'm going to
[G] ramble There's never a night I'm going to roam There's never a night I'm [C] going to ramble And [G] take the air and so my ain't true love
I'm a rover, [C] seldom
[G] sober I'm a rover of high degree
[D] It's [G] when I'm drinking I'm [C] always thinking [G] How to gain my love's company
Though the neck be [C] as dark as
[G] dungeon Not a star can be seen above
I will be guided without a stumble And take the air and so my ain't true love
I'm a rover, [C] seldom
[G] sober I'm a rover of high [D] degree
It's [G] when I'm drinking I'm [C] always thinking [G] How to gain my love's company
He step atop to [C] her bedroom [G] window Kneeling gently upon a stain
He whispers through her bedroom [C]
window My [G] darling dear, do you lie alone?
I'm a rover, [C] seldom
[G] sober I'm a rover of high [D] degree
It's when [G] I'm drinking [C] I'm always thinking [G] How to gain my love's company
She raised her head from [C] her down-soft [G] pillow Wee her hands around her [D] breasts
Says, why [G] is that at my bedroom [C]
window [G] Starving me at my long night's rest?
I'm a rover, [C] seldom
[G] sober I'm a rover of high [D] degree
It's when [G] I'm drinking I'm [C] always thinking [G] How to gain my love's company
Says, I, my love, [C] it's thy true
[G] lover Open the door and let me in
For I'll come on the long [C] night's journey For [G] the mid-wedding stained skin
I'm a rover, [C] seldom [G]
sober I'm a rover of high [D] degree
It's when [G] I'm drinking I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company
She opened the door, wee, [C] the greatest [G] pleasure She opened the door and she let him [D] in
They [G] bathed, shook hands and embraced [C] each other Until [G] the morning they lay as one
I'm a rover, [C] seldom [G] sober I'm a rover of high [D] degree
It's [G] when I'm drinking I'm [C] always thinking How [G] to gain my love's company
Says, I, my love, I [C] must go and [G] leave you To climb the hills there
[D]
But I will [G] climb, wee, the [C] greatest pleasure Since [G] I've been in the arms of my love
I'm a rover, [C]
seldom [G] sober I'm a rover of high [D] degree
It's [G] when I'm drinking I'm always [C] thinking [G] How to gain my [D] love's [G] company
