Ways Of A Rover Lyrics by Roaring Jack

0

I’ve travelled east, I’ve travelled west
And I’ve been south of the border
Seldom sober, often drunk
And sometimes out of order
Sometimes I’ve been true to love
And sometimes I’ve betrayed it
But when it’s time to cop my whack
Then I’ve coughed up and paid it
And I swore by the light of the morning sun
My drinking days were over
That very night I was back in town
Following the ways of a rover
When we toast for auld lang syne
Friends absent or departed
I’ll drink to my own true love
Though she was fickle hearted
Then lay me down with another girl
Wi’ a headfu’ o’ wine and brandy
Who gives a nutse for the cutty stool
It’s a’ for houghmagandie, I swore by the light…
I was born and raised a pagan
You could call it my vocation
I hate your Christian morals
With your rules and regulations
Through the smoke of innocence
Like quaens we’ll reel and spin
All down the gorgeous avenue
They call the path of sin, and I swore by the light…
