《Spencer The Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] Spencer The Rover - John Martyn

[00:00:14] This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover

[00:00:22] As valiant a man as ever left home

[00:00:30] He had been much reduced

[00:00:33] Which caused great confusion

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

[00:00:52] In Yorkshire near Rotherham 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

[00:01:16] With bread and cold water he himself did refresh

[00:01:29] With the night fast approaching to the woods he resorted

[00:01:37] With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make

[00:01:46] But he dreamt about sighing

[00:01:49] Lamenting and crying

[00:01:54] Go home to your family and rambling forsake

[00:02:07] 'Twas the fifth day of November I've reason to remember

[00:02:16] When first he arrived home to his family and friends

[00:02:23] And they did stand so astounded

[00:02:26] Surprised and dumbfounded

[00:02:32] To see such a stranger once more in their sight

[00:02:47] And his children come around him with their prittle prattling stories

[00:02:55] With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away

[00:03:03] And he's as happy as those

[00:03:06] As have thousands of riches

[00:03:11] Contented he'll remain and not ramble away

[00:03:21] This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover

[00:03:29] As valiant a man as ever left home

[00:03:37] And he had been much reduced

[00:03:39] And caused great confusion

[00:03:45] And that was the reason he started to roam
