Ye Vagabonds - I'm A Rover

 

 

I must away now, I cannot tarry

this morning's tempest I have to cross

I well be guided without a stumble

into the arms that I love the most.

 

  I'm a rover, seldom sober

  I'm a rover of high degree

  It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking

  How to gain my love's company.

 

At last he came to his true love's dwelling

he sat on down there upon a stone

And through her window he whispered softly

"Is my true lover within at home?"

 

She raised hеr head then fell off hеr pillow

she raised the blanket from off her breast

And through her window she whispered softly

"Who is disturbing me from my night's rest?"

 

Get up, get up, now, it's your true lover

get up, get up, now and let me in

For I am weary of my long journey

and I am wet right into the the skin.

 

She raised her head then fell off her pillow

she raised the set and she let him in

And they were locked in each other's arms

until the long night was past and gone.

      This is a night-visit song.
