Vance Gilbert – Spencer the Rover Lyrics

Artist: Vance Gilbert
Song: Spencer the Rover

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

`Tween Yorkshire and Rotterdam
He’s been on the ramble
Weary of traveling
He sat down to rest

By the foot of yon mountain
Lies a clear flowing fountain
With bread and fresh water
Himself did refresh

With the night fast approaching
To the woods he resorted
With woodbinе and ivy
His bed for to make

But he drеamt of outside
Lamenting and crying
Go home to your family
And rambling forsake

‘Twas the fifth of November
A day to remember
When first he came home
To his family and friends

They did stand so astounded
Surprised and dumbfounded
To see such a stranger
Again in their sight

His children gathered `round him
With their prittle-prattling stories
With their prittle-prattling stories
To drive care away

Now he’s as happy as those
With a thousand riches
Content 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’d been much reduced
And caused great confusion
And that was the reason
He started to roam
