[G] There's never an act [C] I'm going to
[G] ramble There's never an act I'm going [D] to roam
There's [G] never an act I'm going to ramble 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 always thinking How to gain my love's company
Though the next be [C] as dark as
[G] dungeon Not a star can be seen [D] above
I will be guided without a stumble And take [G] 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 when [G] I'm drinking I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company
He steppeth up to our [C] bedroom
[G] window Kneeling gently [D] upon a stain
He whispers [G] through our bedroom window My 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 [A] [G] How to gain my love's company
She raised her head from [C] her down soft
[G] pillow Wee her hands and [D] her breasts
Says why [G] is that at my bedroom window 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 [D] in
[G] For I'm a long [C] night's journey More [G] than near drenched aid 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 [G] 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 each other Until the morning they lay as one
I'm a rover [C] seldom sober I'm a rover of high [D] degree
It's [G] when I'm drinking I'm always [G] thinking How to gain my love's company
Says I my love I must [C] go and leave you To climb the hills they are [D]
hub
But I [G] will climb wee the [C] greatest pleasure Since [G] I've been in the arms of my love
I'm a rover seldom sober I'm a rover of high [D] degree
[G] It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company
