Spencer The Rover - John Martyn[00:00:00]
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover[00:00:32]
As valiant a man as ever left home[00:00:39]
And he had been much reduced[00:00:46]
And caused great confusion[00:00:49]
And that was the reason he started to roam[00:00:54]
In Yorkshire near Rotherham [00:01:04]
He had been on the ramble[00:01:06]
And weary of traveling he sat down to rest[00:01:11]
By the foot of yon' mountain[00:01:18]
Lays a clear flowing fountain[00:01:21]
With bread and cold water he himself did refresh[00:01:26]
With the night fast approaching [00:01:39]
To the woods he resorted[00:01:41]
With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make[00:01:46]
But he dreamt about sighing[00:01:54]
Lamenting and crying[00:01:56]
Go home to your family and so rambling forsake[00:02:02]
'Twas the fifth day of November [00:02:18]
I've reason to remember[00:02:20]
When first he arrived home to his family and friends[00:02:25]
Where they did stand so astounded[00:02:32]
Surprised and dumbfounded[00:02:35]
To see such a stranger once more in their sight[00:02:40]
And his children come around him[00:02:50]
With their prittle prattling stories[00:02:52]
With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away[00:02:57]
He's as happy as those[00:03:05]
As have thousands of riches[00:03:07]
Contented he'll remain and not ramble away[00:03:12]
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover[00:03:24]
As valiant a man as ever left home[00:03:32]
And he had been much reduced[00:03:39]
And you caused great confusion[00:03:42]
And that was the reason he started to roam[00:03:47]
