dubliners – i’m a rover lyrics
as sung on the following alb-ms: seven drunken nights;
the best of the dubliners
there`s ne`er a nicht i`m gane to ramble, there`s ne`er
a nicht i`m gane to roam
there`s ne`er a nicht i`m gane to ramble, intae the
erms of me ain 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
though the nicht be as dark as dungeon, not a star can
be seen above
i will be guided without a stumble, intae the erms of
my ane 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 tae her bedroom winday, kneeling gently
upon a staine
he whispers through her bedroom winday, my darling dear
do you lie alaine
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 raised her head from her down soft pillow, wi` her
erms around her br–sts
says: ”why is that that my bedroom winday is `sterbing
me at my long nicht`s rest?”
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 it’s i thy true lover, open the door
and let me in
for i have come on a long nights journey more than near
drenched to my 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 wi` 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 wi` the greatest pleasure, since i’ve
been in the arms of my love
