Текст песни Misc Traditional - St Gregorys Academy - The Ramblin Rover

And drunkards barely twenty,
           There are men of over ninety,
           Who have never yet kissed a girl.
           But give me a rambling rover,

           Then cart me down to Dover,
           We'll rove the country over,
           And together we'll face the world.

1st Verse: Oh, they roamed through all the nations

           Taken delight in all creation
           And I've tried a wee sensation,
           When the company did prove kind.
           Then when parting was no pleasure

           I drank another measure
           To the good friends that we treasure
           For they'll always be on my mind.

2nd Verse: There are those who feign enjoyment

           From merciless employment
           Their mission was deployment
           From the minute they left the school
           And they save, scrape and plunder

           While the rest go out and squander
           See the world and rove and wander
           And they're happier as a fool.

3rd Verse: If you're bent with arthritis    

           Your bowels have got colitis
           You've a galloping bollockitis      
           And your thinking it's time you'd died
           If you've been a man of action

           You're lying there in traction
           You can gain some satisfaction
           Thinkin' "Golly, at least I tried".
