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

Said "I true Love it's your own true lover,
Open the door and let me in.
For I have come on a long long journey,
And I am drenched unto me skin."

She opened the door then without a murmer,
Opened the door and then let him in,
And sinely kissed and embraced each other
And in the mornin' they lay as yin.

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

The day was dawning The cocks were crawin'
Birds were whistlin' on every tree
Fairwell my true love now I must leave you
For the long night has turned to day

For I'm a rover and 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

Well I'm a rover and 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
