《Spencer the Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] Spencer the Rover (漂泊者斯宾塞) - Bob Cooper/Ron Copper

[00:00:01] These words were composed

[00:00:04] By Spencer the Rover

[00:00:07] Who had travelled Great Britain

[00:00:10] And most parts of Wales

[00:00:14] He had been so reduced

[00:00:17] Which caused great confusion

[00:00:20] And that was the reason he went on the roam

[00:00:29] In Yorkshire near Rotherham

[00:00:32] He had been on his rambles

[00:00:35] Being weary of travelling

[00:00:38] He sat down to rest

[00:00:42] At the foot of yonder mountain

[00:00:45] There runs a clear fountain

[00:00:48] With bread and cold water

[00:00:52] He himself did refresh

[00:00:57] It tasted more sweeter than

[00:01:01] The gold he had wasted

[00:01:04] More sweeter than honey and

[00:01:07] Gave more content

[00:01:10] But the thoughts of

[00:01:12] His babies lamenting their father

[00:01:17] Brought tears them their eyes

[00:01:20] Which made him a lament

[00:01:25] The night fast approaching

[00:01:28] To the woods he resorted

[00:01:32] With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make

[00:01:39] There he dreamt about

[00:01:41] Sighing lamenting and crying

[00:01:45] Go home to your family and rambling forsake

[00:01:53] On the fifth of November

[00:01:57] I've a reason to remember

[00:02:00] When first he arrived home to

[00:02:03] His family and wife

[00:02:07] They stood so surprised

[00:02:10] When first he arrived

[00:02:13] To be home such a stranger

[00:02:17] Once more in their sight

[00:02:22] His children came around

[00:02:24] Him with their prittle-prattling stories

[00:02:28] With their prittle-prattling

[00:02:30] Stories to drive care away

[00:02:35] Now they are united like birds of one feather

[00:02:42] Like bees in one hive contented they'll be

[00:02:50] So now he is a-living in his cottage contented

[00:02:56] With woodbine and roses

[00:03:00] Growing all around the door

[00:03:03] He's as happy as those that

[00:03:06] Got thousands of riches

[00:03:10] Contented he'll stay and go rambling no more
