Spencer The Rover [BBC - John Peel 13/1/75[00:00:00]
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover[00:00:17]
As valiant a man as ever left home[00:00:24]
And he had been much reduced[00:00:32]
Which caused great confusion[00:00:34]
And that was the reason he started to roam[00:00:40]
In Yorkshire near Rotherham [00:00:53]
He had been on the ramble[00:00:56]
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[00:01:15]
With the night fast approaching to the woods he resorted[00:01:28]
With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make[00:01:35]
But he dreamt about sighing[00:01:43]
Lamenting and crying[00:01:46]
Go home to your family and rambling forsake[00:01:51]
'Twas the fifth day of November I've reason to remember[00:02:04]
When first he arrived home to his family and friends[00:02:12]
And they did stand so astounded[00:02:18]
Surprised and dumbfounded[00:02:21]
To see such a stranger once more in their sight[00:02:27]
And his children come around him[00:02:39]
With their prittle prattling stories[00:02:42]
With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away[00:02:47]
And he's as happy as those[00:02:54]
As have thousands of riches[00:02:57]
Contented he'll remain and not ramble away[00:03:02]
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover[00:03:15]
As valiant a man as ever left home[00:03:23]
And he had been much reduced[00:03:30]
And caused great confusion[00:03:32]
And that was the reason he started to roam[00:03:38]
