《Spencer the Rover(Bob & Ron)》歌词

[00:00:01] These words were composed by Spencer the Rover

[00:00:08] Who travelled Great Britain and most parts of Wales

[00:00:14] He had been so reduced which caused great confusion

[00:00:21] And that was the reason he went on the roam

[00:00:29] In Yorkshire near Rotherham he had been on his rambles

[00:00:36] Being weary of travelling he sat down to rest

[00:00:43] At the foot of yonder mountain there runs a clear fountain

[00:00:49] With bread and cold water he himself did refresh

[00:00:58] It tasted more sweeter than the gold he had wasted

[00:01:04] More sweeter than honey and gave more content

[00:01:11] But the thoughts of his babies lamenting their father

[00:01:18] Brought tears in the eyes witch man him lament

[00:01:26] The night fast approaching to the woods he resorted

[00:01:33] With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make

[00:01:40] There he dreamt about sighing lamenting and crying

[00:01:47] Go home to your family and rambling forsake

[00:01:55] On the fifth of November I've a reason to remember

[00:02:01] When first he arrived home to his family and wife

[00:02:08] They stood so surprised when first he arrived

[00:02:15] To be home such a stranger once more in their sight

[00:02:23] His children came around him

[00:02:26] With their prittle-prattling stories

[00:02:30] With their prittle-prattling stories to drive care away

[00:02:37] Now they are united like birds of one feather

[00:02:43] Like bees in one hive contented they'll be

[00:02:52] So now he is a-living in his cottage contented

[00:02:58] With woodbine and roses growing all around the door

[00:03:05] He's as happy as those that's got thousands of riches

[00:03:12] Contented he'll stay and go a rambling no more
