There are sober men a-plenty And drunkards barely twenty There are men of over ninety Who have never yet kissed a girl But give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We will roam the country over together we'll face the world I have roamed throughout the nation Ta'en delight in all creation And have gained a wee sensation When the company did prove kind And when parting was no pleasure We drank another measure To the good friends that we treasure 'cause they always are in our minds There are sober men a-plenty And drunkards barely twenty There are men of over ninety Who have never yet kissed a girl Give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We will roam the country over Together we'll face the world There are those who feign enjoyment From merciless employment This condition was their deployment From the minute they left the school Now they save and scrape and ponder While the rest go out and squander See the world and roam and wander And we're happier as a rule There are sober men a-plenty And drunkards barely twenty There are men of over ninety Who have never yet kissed a girl Give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We will roam the country over Together we'll face the world Now when troubles they do befall me to the high road I do haul me Rovin' John is what they call me It's a blessing and a curse Though my troubles they be many I'll take a drink with any 'til I've spent me last wee penny and they come for me in a hearse. There are sober men a-plenty And drunkards barely twenty There are men of over ninety Who have never yet kissed a girl Give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We will roam the country over Together we'll face the world If you're bent with arthritis Your bowels have got colitis Or the galloping balacitis And you're thinking it's time you died If you've been a man of action And now you're lying there in traction You may gain some satisfaction Thinking "Jesus at least I tried!" There are sober men a-plenty And drunkards barely twenty There are men of over ninety Who have never yet kissed a girl Give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We will roam the country over Together we'll face the world There are sober men a-plenty And drunkards barely twenty There are men of over ninety Who have never yet kissed a girl Give me a ramblin' rover Frae Orkney down to Dover We will roam the country over And together we'll face the world
