I’m a Rover The Corries

There's ner a night that I'm going to ramble
Ner a night that I'm going to roam
There's ner a night that I'm going to ramble
'Tae the airms of my ain true love

Though the nicht be dark as a dungeon
Not a star to be seen above
I'll take the road now without a stumble
Intae the airms o' my ain true love

For I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company

I crept up tae her bedroom window
Kneelin' gently upon a stane;
I whispered softly through her window
"Darlin' lassie, be you lie alane?"

She raised her head on her snaw-white pillow
Wi' her arms raised round her breast
Says "who is that at my bedroom window
Disturbin' me at my long night's rest?"

Well I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover o' high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
