Spencer The Rover [out-takes] Lyrics - John Martyn

This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover 

As valiant a man as ever left home 

And he had been much reduced 

Which caused great confusion 

And that was the reason he started to roam 

 

In Yorkshire near Rotherham, he had been on the ramble 

Weary of traveling, he sat down to rest 

By the foot of yon' mountain 

Lays a clear flowing fountain 

With bread and cold water he himself did refresh

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

 

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 

 

'Twas 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 as happy as those 

As have thousands of riches 

Contented he'll remain and not ramble away 

 

This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover 

As valiant a man as ever left home 

And he had been much reduced 

And caused great confusion 

And that was the reason he started to roam
