A Rambling Rover Full Lyrics

[00:01.90] There are sober man aplenty [00:02.87] And drunkards barely twenty [00:04.66] There are men of over ninety [00:06.47] Who have never yet kissed a girl [00:08.27] But give me a rambling rover [00:10.93] From Orkney down to Dover [00:12.70] We'll roam the country over [00:14.53] And together we'll face the world [00:17.20] There are those who claim enjoyment [00:19.92] Of merciless employment [00:21.73] Their ambition this deployment [00:23.54] Since the minute they left the school [00:26.34] And they scrape and save and ponder [00:28.11] While the rest go out and squander [00:29.96] See the world and rove and wander [00:31.78] And they're happier as a rule [00:34.46] I have roamed through all the nations [00:53.39] Took delight in all creation [00:56.07] I've enjoyed a wee sensation [00:57.95] When the company did prove kind [00:59.78] When parting was no pleasure [01:02.44] I drank another measure [01:04.22] To the good friends that we treasure [01:06.02] For they always are on our mind [01:41.28] If you're bent with arthritis [01:43.97] And your bowels have got colitis [01:45.74] You've galloping bollockitis [01:47.56] And you're thinking it's time you died [01:50.35] If you've been a man of action [01:52.14] And you're lying there in traction [01:53.90] You can gain some satisfaction [01:56.66] Thinking Jesus at least I tried [01:58.41]
