《Spencer The Rover(Live)》歌词

[00:00:00] Spencer The Rover [BBC - John Peel 13/1/75

[00:00:17] This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover

[00:00:24] As valiant a man as ever left home

[00:00:32] And he had been much reduced

[00:00:34] Which caused great confusion

[00:00:40] And that was the reason he started to roam

[00:00:53] In Yorkshire near Rotherham

[00:00:56] He had been on the ramble

[00:01:00] Weary of traveling he sat down to rest

[00:01:07] By the foot of yon' mountain

[00:01:10] Lays a clear flowing fountain

[00:01:15] With bread and cold water he himself did refresh

[00:01:28] With the night fast approaching to the woods he resorted

[00:01:35] With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make

[00:01:43] But he dreamt about sighing

[00:01:46] Lamenting and crying

[00:01:51] Go home to your family and rambling forsake

[00:02:04] 'Twas the fifth day of November I've reason to remember

[00:02:12] When first he arrived home to his family and friends

[00:02:18] And they did stand so astounded

[00:02:21] Surprised and dumbfounded

[00:02:27] To see such a stranger once more in their sight

[00:02:39] And his children come around him

[00:02:42] With their prittle prattling stories

[00:02:47] With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away

[00:02:54] And he's as happy as those

[00:02:57] As have thousands of riches

[00:03:02] Contented he'll remain and not ramble away

[00:03:15] This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover

[00:03:23] As valiant a man as ever left home

[00:03:30] And he had been much reduced

[00:03:32] And caused great confusion

[00:03:38] And that was the reason he started to roam
