| Lyrics: | The Ramblin Rover
(Andy M. Stewart)
Oh, there're sober men
and plenty,
And drunkards barely twenty,
There are men of over ninety
That have never
yet kissed a girl.
But give me a ramblin' rover,
Frae Orkney down to Dover.
We will
roam the country over
And together we'll face the world.
There's many that feign
enjoyment
From merciless employment,
Their ambition was this deployment
From the
minute they left the school.
And they save and scrape and ponder
While the rest go out and
squander,
See the world and rove and wander
And are happier as a rule.
I've roamed
through all the nations
In delight of all creations,
And enjoyed a wee
sensation
Where the company, it was kind.
And when barkin' was no pleasure,
I've
drunk another measure
To the good friends that were treasure
For they always around were
mine.
If you're bent wi' arthiritis,
Your bowels have got Colitis,
You're gallopin'
with balacitis
And you're thinkin' it's time you died,
If you been a man o'
action,
Though you're lying there in traction,
You will get some
satisfaction
Thinkin', ''Jesus, at least I tried.''
