Misc - Rambling Rover lyrics
rate meRambling Rover<br />
- from Silly Wizard<br />
- chorus: -<br />
Oh there's sober men & plenty<br />
And drunkards barely twenty<br />
There are men of over ninety<br />
That have never yet kissed a girl.<br />
But give me a rambling rover<br />
Fae Orkney down to Dover<br />
We will roam the country over<br />
And together we'll face the world.<br />
I've roamed through all the nations<br />
Ta'en delight in all creation<br />
And I've tried a wee sensation<br />
Where the company did prove kind.<br />
When parting was no pleasure<br />
I've drunk another measure<br />
To the good friends that we treasure<br />
For they always are in our mind.<br />
There's many that feign enjoyment<br />
From merciless employment<br />
Their ambition was this deployment<br />
From the minute they left the school<br />
And they save and scrape and ponder,<br />
While the rest go out and squander<br />
See the world and rove and wander -<br />
And they're happier as a rule.<br />
If you're bent with arthritis<br />
Your bowels have got colitis<br />
You've galloping ballicitus<br />
And you're thinking it's time you died.<br />
If you've been a man of action<br />
While you're lying there in <br />
Traction<br />
You may gain some satisfaction<br />
Thinking "Jesus, at least I've tried."
