Though the night be dark as dungeon
Not a star to be seen above
I will be guided, without a stumble
To the arms o' me only love
I went up to her bed room window
Kneeling gently upon a stone
I rapped on her bedroom window
"My darling dear do you lie alone?"
For I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking
Of how to gain my love's company
She raised her head from her feather pillow
Raised her arms up around her breasts
Sayin', "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 a long night's journey
And I'm near drenched to the skin."
For I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking
Of how to gain my love's company
Not a star to be seen above
I will be guided, without a stumble
To the arms o' me only love
I went up to her bed room window
Kneeling gently upon a stone
I rapped on her bedroom window
"My darling dear do you lie alone?"
For I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking
Of how to gain my love's company
She raised her head from her feather pillow
Raised her arms up around her breasts
Sayin', "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 a long night's journey
And I'm near drenched to the skin."
For I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking
Of how to gain my love's company
