"Rambling And Roving" lyrics
"Rambling And Roving"
I'm rambling and roving from village to town
In every country I'm rambling around
The sky is me roof and the earth is me floor
But don't be surprised if I knock on your door
And a roving I'll go, up with your glasses and rosin your bow
And a roving I'll go, never give up when you're feeling low
In a doss house in Dublin the landlady said
You can stay for the night if you make your own bed
No trouble says I sure I've done that before
Says she there's the hammer and nails on the floor
And a roving I'll go, up with your glasses and rosin your bow
And a roving I'll go, never give up when you're feeling low
In Paris I walked in a restaurant fine
Says I would you give me a bottle of wine
What year would you like the landlord did say
Ah says I my good man I would like it today
And a roving I'll go, up with your glasses and rosin your bow
And a roving I'll go, never give up when you're feeling low
It's time to be going it's time to be gone
The high hills and valleys keep calling me on
But here's to your friendship and fire side bright
And here's to the whiskey we're drinking tonight
And a roving I'll go, up with your glasses and rosin your bow
And a roving I'll go, never give up when you're feeling low

Paddy And The Rats - "Ghost From The Barrow" She was daughter of chief
He was known as a thief
But they fell in love with each other
Secret tryst under cover of nights
They made vows to another
On one foggy day, he was taken away
To be killed...

I danced in the moon, and the stars, and the sun

I would take the Northwest Passage
To find the hand of Franklin
Reaching for the Beaufort Sea
Tracing one warm line
