Lyrics

[00:22.29] Though the night is dark as dungeon
[00:24.84] Not a star to be seen above
[00:27.36] I will be guided without a stumble
[00:30.00] Into the arms of me only love
[00:32.67] I went up to her bedroom window
[00:35.31] Kneelin' gently upon a stone
[00:38.04] I rapped on her bedroom window"My darlin' dear, do you lie alone?"
[00:43.08] For I'm a rover, seldom sober
[00:45.93] I'm a rover of high degree
[00:48.48] When I'm drinking,
[00:49.71] I'm always thinking
[00:51.12] How to gain my love's company
[01:02.61] She raised her head from her feather pillow
[01:05.49] With her arms up around her breasts
[01:08.13] Saying, "Who's at my bedroom windowDisturbin' me and me long night's rest?""It's only me, your own true loverOpen the door and please let me inFor I have come on a long night's journeyAnd I'm near drenched to the skin"
[01:23.94] For I'm a rover, seldom sober
[01:26.85] I'm a rover of high degree
[01:29.28] When I'm drinking,
[01:30.66] I'm always thinking
[01:32.04] How to gain my love's company
[01:54.12] She opened the door with the greatest pleasure
[01:57.12] She opened the door and she let me in
[01:59.58] We both shook hands and embraced each other'
[02:02.22] Til the morning we lay as one
[02:04.80] Well now, me love,
[02:06.06] I must go and leave you
[02:07.56] Though the mountains be high above
[02:09.66] Well I will climb them with greater pleasure
[02:12.84] Now that I've been with me only love
[02:15.30] For I'm a rover, seldom sober
[02:18.24] I'm a rover of high degree
[02:20.85] When I'm drinking,
[02:22.08] I'm always thinking
[02:23.52] How to gain my love's company
[02:25.98] For I'm a rover, seldom sober
[02:28.89] I'm a rover of high degree
[02:31.44] When I'm drinking,
[02:33.54] I'm always thinking
[02:34.05] How to gain my love's company
