"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
