This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
D D* Bm
As valiant a man as ever left home
Em5* Em4* Em*
And he had been much reduced, And caused great confusion
D D* Bm D* Bm D* Bm
And that was the reason he started to roam
[VERSE 2]
D D* Bm
In Yorkshire near Rotherham, he had been on the ramble
D D* Bm
Weary of traveling, he sat down to rest
Em5* Em4* Em*
By the foot of yon mountain, Lays a clear flowing fountain
D D* Bm D* Bm D* Bm
With bread and cold water he himself did refresh
[VERSE 3]
D D* Bm
With the night fast approaching, to the woods he resorted
D D* Bm
With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make
Em5* Em4* Em*
But he dreamt about sighing, Lamenting and crying
D D* Bm D* Bm D* Bm
Go home to your family and rambling forsake
[VERSE 4]
D D* Bm
'Twas the fifth day of November, I've reason to remember
D D* Bm
When first he arrived home to his family and friends
Em5* Em4* Em*
And they did stand so astounded, Surprised and dumbfounded
D D* Bm D* Bm D* Bm
To see such a stranger once more in their sight
[VERSE 5]
D D* Bm
And his children come around him with their prittle prattling stories
D D* Bm
With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away
Em5* Em4* Em*
And he's as happy as those, As have thousands of riches
D D* Bm D* Bm D* Bm
Contented he'll remain and not ramble away
