Spencer The Rover - John Martyn[00:00:00]
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover[00:00:14]
As valiant a man as ever left home[00:00:22]
He had been much reduced[00:00:30]
Which caused great confusion[00:00:33]
And that was the reason he started to roam[00:00:38]
In Yorkshire near Rotherham he had been on the ramble[00:00:52]
Weary of traveling he sat down to rest[00:01:00]
By the foot of yon' mountain[00:01:07]
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 to the woods he resorted[00:01:29]
With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make[00:01:37]
But he dreamt about sighing[00:01:46]
Lamenting and crying[00:01:49]
Go home to your family and rambling forsake[00:01:54]
'Twas the fifth day of November I've reason to remember[00:02:07]
When first he arrived home to his family and friends[00:02:16]
And they did stand so astounded[00:02:23]
Surprised and dumbfounded[00:02:26]
To see such a stranger once more in their sight[00:02:32]
And his children come around him with their prittle prattling stories[00:02:47]
With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away[00:02:55]
And he's as happy as those[00:03:03]
As have thousands of riches[00:03:06]
Contented he'll remain and not ramble away[00:03:11]
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover[00:03:21]
As valiant a man as ever left home[00:03:29]
And he had been much reduced[00:03:37]
And caused great confusion[00:03:39]
And that was the reason he started to roam[00:03:45]
