The Ramblin' Rover

Oh, there're sober men and plenty Drunkards barely 20 There are men of over 90 Who have never yet kissed a girl But give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We'll roam the country over And together we'll face the world I've roamed through all the nations In delight of all creations And enjoyed a wee sensation When the company there was kind And when partin' was no pleasure I've drunk another measure To the good friends that we treasure For they always are in our mind Oh, there're sober men and plenty Drunkards barely 20 There are men of over 90 Who have never yet kissed a girl But give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We'll roam the country over And together we'll face the world Well, there's many that feign enjoyment From merciless employment Their ambition was this deployment From the minute they left the school She save and scrape and ponder While the rest go out and squander See the world and rove and wander And are happier as a rule Oh, there're sober men and plenty Drunkards barely 20 There are men of over 90 Who have never yet kissed a girl But give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We'll roam the country over And together we'll face the world If you're bent wi' arthiritis Your bowels have got colitis You've gallopin' bollockitis And you're thinkin' it's time you died You've been a man o' action Though you're lying there in traction You may get some satisfaction Thinkin', "Jesus, at least I tried" Oh, there're sober men and plenty Drunkards barely 20 There are men of over 90 Who have never yet kissed a girl But give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We'll roam the country over And together we'll face the world Oh, there're sober men and plenty Drunkards barely 20 There are men of over 90 Who have never yet kissed a girl But give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We'll roam the country over And together we'll face the world We'll roam the country over And together we'll face the world
