Lyrics:

Though the night be as dark as dungeon,
Not a star to be seen above,
I will be guided without a stumble
Into the arms of my ain true love.

Chorus:
I'm a rover, seldom sober,
I'm a rover of high degree;
It's when I'm drinking I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company.

He stepp it up to her bedroom window,
Kneelin' gently upon a stone,
He rapp it up at her bedroom window:
"My darlin' dear, do you lie alone?"

She raised her head from her snow white pillow,
With her arms around her breast,
Saying "Who is there at my bedroom window,
Disturbing me from my long night's rest?"

"It's only me, your own true lover;
Open the door, love, and let me in,
For I have come on a long night's journey
And I'm near drenched to the skin."

She opened the door with the greatest of pleasure,
She opened the door and she let him in,
They both shook hands and embraced each other,
Until the morning they lay as one.

"Now, my love, I must go and leave you,
To climb the hills, they are high above;
But I will climb with the greatest of pleasure'
Since I've been in the arms of my love."
