Spencer the Rover歌词完整版
This tune was composed by Spencer the rover
As valiant a man as ever left home
And he’d been much reduced and caused great confusion
And that was the reason he started to roam
In Yorkshire near Rotherham he’d been on the ramble
Weary of travelling he sat down to rest
By the foot of yon mountain there’s a clear flowing fountain
With bread and cold water he started to roam
And it tasted more sweeter than the gold he had wasted
More sweeter than honey and gave more content
But the thought of his children lamenting their father
Brought tears to his eyes and caused him to repent
With the night fast approaching to the woods he resorted
With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make
But he dreamt about sighing, lamenting and crying
Go home to your family and rambling forsake
Was the fifth day of November I’ve reason to remember
When first he arrived home to his family and friends
And they did stand so astounded, surprised and dumbfounded
To see such a stranger once more in their sight
And his children come around him with their prittle prattling stories
With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away
And he’s happy as those as have thousands of riches
Contented he’ll remain and not ramble away
And he’d been much reduced and caused great confusion
And that was the reason he started to roam
