I'm a Rover

I'm a rover, 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 be as dark as dungeon, not a star can be seen above
 I will be guided without a stumble, into the arms of my own true love
 I'm a rover, 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
 He stepped up to her bedroom window, kneeling gently upon a stone
 He whispers through her bedroom
 window, my darling dear do you lie alone
 I'm a rover, 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
 It's only me your own true lover, open the door and let me in
 For I have come on a long nights
 journey and I'm near drenched to the skin
 I'm a rover, 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 let him in
 They both shook hands and embraced each
 other, until the morning they lay as one
 I'm a rover, 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
 Says I: My love I must go and leave
 you, to climb the hills they are far above
 But I will climb with the greatest
 pleasure, since I've been in the arms of my love
 I'm a rover, 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
