I'm a Rover

George Millar, Wilcil McDowell, Sean O'Driscoll

I'm a rover and seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company

Here's to health to all true lovers, here's to mine wherever she be
This very night I will go and see her, though she lives many miles from me

I'm a rover and seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company

Though the night is dark and dreary, without a star shining up above
I'll find the road now without a stumble, into the arms of my own true love

I'm a rover and seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company

But I arrived at my true love's window, the rain has soaked me to the skin
I whispered softly through her window, "open the door, love, and let me in"

I'm a rover and seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company

She opened the door with the greatest pleasure, she opened the door and she held him tight
They sweetley kissed and embraced each other and his arms she lay all night

I'm a rover and seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company

The cocks are crowin' and I must be goin', the Belfast hills are high above
But over them I will climb with pleasure, since I've been with my own true love

I'm a rover and seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company

I'm a rover and seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
