The Roving Kind - Rex Allen[00:00:00]
Written by:Cavanaugh Stanton[00:00:01]
As I cruised out one evening upon a night's career[00:00:02]
I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I[00:00:07]
Did steer[00:00:10]
I heisted out my signals which she so quickly knew[00:00:11]
And when she saw my bunting fly she immediately hove[00:00:16]
To woo woo[00:00:22]
She had a dark and rovin' eye and her hair[00:00:24]
Hung down in ringlets[00:00:28]
She was a nice girl a proper girl but one[00:00:31]
Of the rovin' kind[00:00:35]
Oh pardon me she says to me for being out[00:00:38]
So late[00:00:41]
But if my parents heard of this all sad would[00:00:43]
Be my fate[00:00:46]
My father is in politics a good and righteous man[00:00:47]
My mother is an acrobat[00:00:52]
I do the best I can[00:00:55]
She had a dark and rovin' eye and her hair[00:01:00]
Hung down in ringlets[00:01:05]
She was a nice girl a proper girl but one[00:01:07]
Of the rovin' kind[00:01:11]
I took her for some fish and chips and treated[00:01:27]
Her so fine[00:01:30]
And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind[00:01:32]
I kissed her lips I missed her lips and found[00:01:37]
To my surprise[00:01:40]
She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in[00:01:41]
A disguise[00:01:46]
She had a dark and rovin' eye and her hair[00:01:50]
Hung down in ringlets[00:01:55]
She was a nice girl a proper girl but one[00:01:57]
Of the rovin' kind[00:02:02]
So come all you good sailor men who sail the[00:02:04]
Wintry sea[00:02:07]
And come all you apprentice lads a warnin' take from me[00:02:09]
Beware of lofty clipper ships they'll be the ruin of you[00:02:14]
For 'twas there she made me walk the plank and[00:02:18]
Pushed me under too[00:02:21]
She had a dark and rovin' eye and[00:02:26]
Her hair hung down in ringlets[00:02:30]
She was a nice girl a proper girl but one[00:02:33]
Of the rovin' kind[00:02:38]
