I'm a Rover

Though the night be dark as dungeon,
Not a star to be seen above.
I will be guided, without a stumble,
To the arms o' me only love.
I went up to her bed room window,
Kneeling gently upon a stone.
I rapped on her bedroom window,
"My darling dear do you lie alone?"
For, I'm a rover seldom sober,
I'm a rover of high degree.
An' when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinking
Of how to gain my loves company.
She raised her head from her feather pillow,
Raised her arms up around her breasts.
Sayin', "Who's at me bedroom window
Disturbing me at me long night's rest?"
"It's only me, you own true lover,
Open the door and please let me in
For, I have come a long nights journey,
And I'm near drenched to the skin."
For, I'm a rover seldom sober,
I'm a rover of high degree.
