These words were composed by Spencer the Rover
Who traveled Great
Britain and most parts of Wales
He had been so reduced, which caused great confusion
And
that was the reason he went on the roam
In Yorkshire, near Rotherham, he had been on his
rambles
Being weary of traveling, he sat down to rest
At the foot of yonder mountain there
runs a clear fountain
With bread and cold water he himself did refresh
It tasted
more sweeter than the gold he had wasted
More sweeter than honey and gave more content
But
the thoughts of his babies, lamenting their father
Brought tears to his eyes which made him
lament
The night fast approaching, to the woods he resorted
With woodbine and ivy
his bed for to make
There he dreamt about sighing, lamenting and crying
Go home to your
family and wandering forsake
On the fifth of november, I've a reason to
remember
When first he arrived home to his family and wife
They stood so surprised, when
first he arrived
To behold such a stranger once more in their sight
His children
came around him with their prittle prattling stories
With their prittle prattling stories to
drive care away
Now they are united, like birds of one feather
Like bees in one hive,
contented they'll be
So now he is a living in his cottage contented
With woodbine
and roses growing all around his door
He's as happy as those who have thousands of
riches
Contented he'll stay and go a rambling no more
recorded by the Copper Family
and John and Tony
