I'm a Rover

Though the night be dark as a dungeon Not a star to be seen above I will be guided without a stumble To the arms of my only love I went up to here bedroom window Kneeling gently upon a stone I whispered through her bedroom window Darling here do you lie alone I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree Yes, when I'm drinking I'm always thinking how to gain my love's company She raised her head from her feathered pillow Raised her arms up around her chest Says 'who is at my bedroom window? Disturbing me from my long nights rest' It's only me your one true lover Open the door and let me in For I have come on a long nights journey And I'm near drenched into the skin I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree Yes, when I'm drinking I'm always thinking how to gain my love's company She opened the door with the greatest pleasure She opened the door as she let me in We both held hands then embraced each other 'Til the morning we'll lay as one I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree Yes, when I'm drinking I'm always thinking how to gain my love's company Well now my love I must go and leave you Though the mountains be high above But I will climb them with the greatest pleasure Having been with my only love I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree Yes, when I'm drinking I'm always thinking how to gain my love's company Oh I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree Yes, when I'm drinking I'm always thinking how to gain my love's company
