作曲：John Martyn

his tune was composed by Spencer the Rover

As valiant a man as ever left home

And he been much reduced which caused great confusion

And that was the reason he started to roam

In Yorkshire near Rotherham he had been on the ramble

And weary traveling he sat down to rest

By the foot of yon mountain at a clear flowing fountain

With bread and cold water he himself did refresh

With the night fast approaching to the woods he resorted

With wood vine and ivy his bed for to make

But he dreamt about sighing lamenting and crying

Go home to your family and rambling forsake

Twas the fifth day of November I have reason to remember

When first he arrived home to his family and friends

And they did stand so astounded surprised and dumbfounded

To see such a stranger once more in their sight

His children came around him with their prittle prattling stories

Their prittle prattling stories to drive care away

And he's as happy as those as have thousands of riches

Contented he'll remain and not ramble away

This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover

As valiant a man as ever left home

And he had been much reduced and caused great confusion

And that was the reason he started to roam
