The Roving Kind - The Weavers/Helen Carter[00:00:00]
Written by:Cavanaugh/Stanton[00:00:02]
As I cruised out one evening[00:00:05]
Upon a night's career[00:00:07]
I spied a lofty clipper ship[00:00:10]
And to her I did steer[00:00:12]
I heisted out my signals[00:00:14]
Which she so quickly knew[00:00:17]
And when she saw my bunting fly[00:00:19]
She immediately hove to woo woo[00:00:22]
She had a dark and rovin' eye[00:00:25]
And her hair hung down in ringlets[00:00:29]
She was a nice girl a proper girl but[00:00:32]
One of the rovin' kind[00:00:37]
Oh pardon me she says to me[00:00:40]
For being out so late[00:00:42]
But if my parents heard of this[00:00:44]
All sad would be my fate[00:00:46]
My father is in politics[00:00:49]
A good and righteous man[00:00:51]
My mother is an acrobat[00:00:53]
I do the best I can[00:00:56]
She had a dark and rovin' eye[00:01:00]
And her hair hung down in ringlets[00:01:03]
She was a nice girl a proper girl but[00:01:07]
One of the rovin' kind[00:01:11]
I took her for some fish and chips[00:01:29]
And treated her so fine[00:01:31]
And hardly did I realize[00:01:33]
She was the rovin' kind[00:01:35]
I kissed her lips I missed her lips[00:01:38]
And found to my surprise[00:01:40]
She was nothin' but a pirate ship[00:01:42]
Rigged up in a disguise[00:01:45]
She had a dark and rovin' eye[00:01:49]
And her hair hung down in ringlets[00:01:53]
She was a nice girl a proper girl but[00:01:56]
One of the rovin' kind[00:02:01]
So come all you good sailor men[00:02:03]
Who sail the wintry sea[00:02:06]
And come all you apprentice lads[00:02:08]
A warnin' take from me[00:02:11]
Beware of lofty clipper ships[00:02:13]
They'll be the ruin of you[00:02:15]
For 'twas there she made me walk the plank[00:02:17]
And pushed me under too[00:02:20]
She had a dark and rovin' eye[00:02:24]
And her hair hung down in ringlets[00:02:27]
She was a nice girl a proper girl but[00:02:31]
One of the rovin' kind[00:02:35]
