"The Roving" lyrics

"The Roving"

Annie, loving Annie
Come give me your hand
You said that if you marry
I could be the man

The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

Early in the summer
My Annie passed me by
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

Later in the summer
With a bottle in my hand
Saying "drink with me, my Annie"
For our love is at an end

I go down to the water
When everyone's asleep
And I think of loving Annie
Wherever she may be

The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye

The roving, the roving of her eye
I knew her love was changing
By the roving of her eye
