I'm a Rover Lyrics

I'm A Rover

There's ne'er a night time gang tiremble
There's ne'er a night time gang tirome
There's ne'er a night time gang tiremble
Intae the arms o' my ain true love

Chorus:
I'm a rover seldom sober
I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin'
How to gain my love's company

Tho' the night be as dark as dungeon
Not a star can be seen abov'
I will be guided without a stumble
Intae the arms o' my ain true love

Chorus,

He stepped up tae her bedroom windae
Kneeling gently upon a stayn
He whispers trough her bedroom windae
My darling dae ye' lie alayn

Chorus,

She raised her head from her downsoft pillow
Wi' her hands around her breast
Says why' is that at my bedroom windae
Disturbing me at my lang night's rest

Chorus,

Says I my love it's thy' own true lover
Open the door and let me in
For I a mcome on a long night's 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 bath 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 abov'
But I will climb wi' the greatest pleasure
Since I've been in the arms of my love

Chorus.
