A Rovin'

Chorus: A-rovin', a-rovin', Since rovin's bin my ru-i-in, We'll go no more a-rovin', With you fair maid.

One night I crept from my abode, Mark well what I do say! One night I crept from my abode, To meet this fair maid down the road. I'll go no more a-ro-o-vin' with you fair maid. (Chorus)

I met this fair maid after dark, Mark well what I do say! I met this fair maid after dark, An' took her to her favorite park. I'll go no more a-ro-o-vin' with you fair maid. (Chorus)

I took this fair maid for a walk, Mark well what I do say! I took this fair maid for a walk, An' we had such a lovely talk. I'll go no more a-ro-o-vin' with you fair maid. (Chorus)

I put me arm around her waist, Mark well what I do say! I put me arm around her waist, She says, "Young man, yer in great haste!" I'll go no more a-ro-o-vin' with you fair maid. (Chorus)

I put me hand upon her knee, Mark well what I do say! I put me hand upon her knee, She says, "Young man, get back to sea!" I'll go no more a-ro-o-vin' with you fair maid. (Chorus)
