Spencer The Rover (漂泊者斯宾塞) (BBC Sight & Sound In Concert / London / 1977) - John Martyn[00:00:00]
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover[00:00:21]
As valiant a man as ever left home[00:00:28]
And he had been much reduced[00:00:36]
And you caused great confusion[00:00:38]
And that was the reason he started to roam[00:00:43]
In Yorkshire near Rotherham [00:00:54]
He had been on the ramble[00:00:56]
And weary of traveling he sat down to rest[00:01:01]
By the foot of yon' mountain[00:01:08]
Lays a clear flowing fountain[00:01:10]
With bread and cold water he himself did refresh[00:01:16]
With the night fast approaching [00:01:24]
To the woods he resorted[00:01:27]
With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make[00:01:32]
But he dreamt about sighing[00:01:39]
Lamenting and crying[00:01:42]
Go home to your family and rambling forsake[00:01:47]
'Twas the fifth day of November [00:02:00]
I've reason to remember[00:02:02]
When first he arrived home to his family and friends[00:02:07]
And they did stand so astounded[00:02:14]
Surprised and dumbfounded[00:02:17]
To see such a stranger once more in their sight[00:02:22]
And his children come around him[00:02:35]
With their prittle prattling stories[00:02:37]
With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away[00:02:42]
He's as happy as those[00:02:50]
As have thousands of riches[00:02:52]
Contented he'll remain and not ramble away[00:02:57]
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover[00:03:10]
As valiant a man as ever left home[00:03:17]
And he had been much reduced[00:03:25]
And caused great confusion[00:03:27]
And that was the reason he started to roam[00:03:33]
