《Spencer The Rover(Live At The State Theatre， Sydney， Australia/ 14/8/1977)》歌词

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

[00:00:32] This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover

[00:00:39] As valiant a man as ever left home

[00:00:46] And he had been much reduced

[00:00:49] And caused great confusion

[00:00:54] And that was the reason he started to roam

[00:01:04] In Yorkshire near Rotherham

[00:01:06] He had been on the ramble

[00:01:11] And weary of traveling he sat down to rest

[00:01:18] By the foot of yon' mountain

[00:01:21] Lays a clear flowing fountain

[00:01:26] With bread and cold water he himself did refresh

[00:01:39] With the night fast approaching

[00:01:41] To the woods he resorted

[00:01:46] With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make

[00:01:54] But he dreamt about sighing

[00:01:56] Lamenting and crying

[00:02:02] Go home to your family and so rambling forsake

[00:02:18] 'Twas the fifth day of November

[00:02:20] I've reason to remember

[00:02:25] When first he arrived home to his family and friends

[00:02:32] Where they did stand so astounded

[00:02:35] Surprised and dumbfounded

[00:02:40] To see such a stranger once more in their sight

[00:02:50] And his children come around him

[00:02:52] With their prittle prattling stories

[00:02:57] With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away

[00:03:05] He's as happy as those

[00:03:07] As have thousands of riches

[00:03:12] Contented he'll remain and not ramble away

[00:03:24] This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover

[00:03:32] As valiant a man as ever left home

[00:03:39] And he had been much reduced

[00:03:42] And you caused great confusion

[00:03:47] And that was the reason he started to roam
