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[00:00:03]

I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer[00:00:07]

I heisted out my signals which she so quickly knew[00:00:12]

And when she saw my bunting fly[00:00:16]

She immediately hove to woo-woo[00:00:19]

She had a dark and a-rovin' eye[00:00:24]

And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets[00:00:27]

She was a nice girl a proper girl[00:00:30]

But one of the rovin' kind[00:00:34]

"Oh pardon me" she says to me[00:00:37]

"For being out so late[00:00:39]

But if my parents heard of this[00:00:41]

Oh sad would be my fate[00:00:44]

My father is in politics a good and righteous man[00:00:46]

My mother is an acrobat[00:00:50]

I do the best I can[00:00:53]

She had a dark and a roving eye[00:00:58]

And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets[00:01:02]

She was a nice girl a proper girl[00:01:05]

But one of the roving kind[00:01:08]

I took her for some fish and chips[00:01:24]

And treated her so kind[00:01:26]

And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind[00:01:28]

I kissed her lips I missed her lips[00:01:33]

And found to my surprise[00:01:36]

She was nothin' but a pirate ship[00:01:38]

Rigged up in a disguise[00:01:40]

She had a dark and a roving eye[00:01:46]

And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets[00:01:49]

She was a nice girl a proper girl[00:01:52]

But one of the roving kind[00:01:56]

So come all you good sailor men[00:01:59]

Who sail the wintry sea[00:02:02]

And come all you apprentice lads[00:02:04]

A warning take from me[00:02:06]

Beware of lofty clipper ships[00:02:08]

They'll be the ruin of you[00:02:10]

For it was there she made me walk the plank[00:02:12]

And pushed me under too-hoo-hoo[00:02:15]

She had a dark and a roving eye[00:02:20]

And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets[00:02:24]

She was a nice girl a proper girl[00:02:27]

But one of the roving kind[00:02:30]
