KEY: D


CHORUS

          D
There are sober men and plenty, and drunkards barely twenty,  

          G           D                 Em        F#m      G       
There are men of over ninety, that have never yet kissed a girl.  

    D
But give me a ramblin' rover, and from Orkney down to Dover.  
  
         G               D           G            A7       D       A7-
We will roam the country over, and together we'll face the world



VERSE 1          

        D
There's many that feign enjoyment, from merciless employment, 

        G                 D                  Em          F#m      G
Their ambition was this deployment, from the minute they left the school. 

         D
And they save and scrape and ponder, while the rest go out and squander, 

        G                  D               G       A7   G
See the world and rove and wander, and are happier as a rule.



VERSE 2
     
     D 
I've roamed through all the nations, in delight of all creations, 

      G               D                Em      F#m     G
And enjoyed a wee sensation, where the company, it was kind. 

         D     
And when partin' was no pleasure, I've drunk another measure 

       G                    D                  G          A7     G
To the good friends that we treasure, for they always are in our mind.



VERSE 3
            
          D
If you're bent with arthiritis, your bowels have got Colitis, 
 
           G                D                Em            F#m      G
You've got gallopin' bollockitis, and you're thinkin' it's time you died, 

       D 
If you been a man o' action, though you're lying there in traction, 

         G             D                   G         A7      G
You will get some satisfaction, thinkin', "Jesus, at least I tried."
