Andy Great Big Sea I'm A Rover (Live) Lyrics

I'd like to send this song especially out, to all the ladies here tonight
Apologies to all the lads, this for all the girls
All the hotties
All the pretties
All the bouncey bouncies
All the big bazoomies

This is a story, this is a ficitional account
Of an imaginary musician who goes to a town,
Plays in a make believe band,
Finishes his show and goes out to the ah
Completely made up pub next door, just over there
On his way he looks up into the window
And sees the silhouette of a fair maiden
And he wants desperately to go inside
But it's not what you think, I know what you're thinking you naughty people
All this.. rover wants to do..
All this rover wants to do.. is go inside and spoon on the couch
No forking, just spooning
Maybe watch some Law & Order
Put the kettle on, make some toast, have a brief sock exchange..
Anyway, if you should see this imaginary fictional made up rover,
Tonight after the show at that pub over there
Let me in

(Ah 1 ah 2 ah 1 2 3)

Though the night is dark as dungeon,
Not a star to be seen above
I will be guided without a stumble
Into the arms of my only love.
I went up to her bedroom window,
Kneelin' gently upon a stone
I rapped on her bedroom window -
"My darlin' dear, do you lie alone?"

For I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
When I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin'
How to gain my love's company.

She raised her head from her feather pillow,
Waved her arms up around her breast,
Saying, "Who's at my bedroom window,
Disturbin' me at me long night's rest?"
"It's only me, your own true lover,
Open the door and please let me in.
I have come on a long night's journey,
I am near drenched to the skin."

For I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
When I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin'
How to gain my love's company.

She opened the door with the greatest pleasure,
Opened the door and she let Bob in,
They both shook hands and watched Lay & Order,
Until the mornin' they lay as one.
Well now, my love, I must go and leave you;
Though the mountains be high above
I will climb them with greater pleasure
Now that I've been with my only love.

For I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
And when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin'
How to gain my love's company.

For I'm a rover, seldom sober!
I'm a rover of high degree
And when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin'
How to gain my love's company...

Thanks for your patience, fellows.
(Law & Order, ey?)
It's a very erotic show, it's all about discipline.
