Lyrics

[00:16.58] Though the night be dark as dungeon
[00:19.33] Not a star to be seen above
[00:21.83] I will be guided without a stumble
[00:24.56] To the arms of me own true love
[00:27.20] I went up to her bedroom window
[00:29.92] Kneelin' gently upon a stone
[00:32.40] I rapped on her bedroom window
[00:35.00] "Darlin' dear, do you lie alone?"
[00:37.41]
[00:37.62] I'm a rover, seldom sober
[00:40.35] I'm a rover of high degree
[00:42.96] And when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
[00:45.78] How to gain my love's company
[00:48.15]
[00:57.21] She raised her head from her feather pillow
[00:59.94] With her arms up about her breast
[01:02.69] Saying "Who's at me bedroom window
[01:05.31] Disturbin' me at me long night's rest?"
[01:07.56]
[01:07.88] "It's only me, your own true lover
[01:10.65] Open the door and please let me in
[01:13.15] For I have come on a lonely journey
[01:15.87] And I'm near drenched to the skin."
[01:18.01]
[01:18.34] I'm a rover, seldom sober
[01:21.10] I'm a rover of high degree
[01:23.60] And when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
[01:26.50] How to gain my love's company
[01:28.61]
[01:45.01] She opened the door with the greatest pleasure
[01:47.62] Opened the door and she let me in
[01:50.10] We both shook hands and embraced each other
[01:52.99] 'Til the mornin' we lay as one
[01:55.39]
[01:55.50] Well now, me love, I must go and leave you
[01:58.33] Though the mountains be high above
[02:00.72] I will climb them with greater pleasure
[02:03.45] That I've been with me only love
[02:05.74]
[02:05.95] I'm a rover, seldom sober
[02:08.67] I'm a rover of high degree
[02:11.29] And when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
[02:13.87] How to gain my love's company
[02:16.29]
[02:16.51] I'm a rover, seldom sober
[02:19.23] I'm a rover of high degree
[02:21.63] And when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
[02:24.46] How to gain my love's company
[02:27.18]
