THE WOLFETONES lyrics : "I'm a Rover"
Not a star to be seen above
I will be guided without a stumble
Into the arms of me only love.
I went up to her bedroom window
Kneeling gently upon a stone
I rapped on her bedroom window
"My darling dear do you lie alone"?
I'm a rover seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
And when I'm drinking I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company.
She raised her head up from her feather pillow
Raised her arms up around her breast
Saying "Who's at me bedroom window
Disturbing me at me long night's rest?
"It's only me your own true lover
Open the door and please let me in.
For I have come on a long night's journey.
I am near drenched to the skin".
I'm a rover seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
And when I'm drinking I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company.
She opened the door with the greatest pleasure
Opened the door and she let me in
We both shook hands and embraced each other.
'Til the morning we lay as one.
"Well now me love I must go and leave you
Though the mountains be high above
Well I will climb them with greater pleasure
That I have been with me only love".
