"Ramblin' Rover" by Andy M. Stewart
There's sober men and plenty,
And drunkards barely twenty,
There are men of over ninety,
Who have never yet kissed a girl,
But give me a ramblin' rover,
Frae Orkney down to Dover,
We'll roam the country over,
And together we'll face the world.
I have roamed through all the nations,
Delight of all creations,
Enjoyed a wee sensation,
Where the company did prove kind,
But when partin' was no pleasure,
I drunk another measure,
To the good friends that we treasure,
For they always are on our mind.
There are many that feign enjoyment,
From merciless employment,
Their ambition was this deployment,
From the minute they left the school,
And they save and scrape and ponder,
While the rest go out and squander,
See the world and rove and wander,
And are happier as a rule.
If you're bent with arthritis,
Your bowels have got Colitis,
You've gallopin' bollockitis,
And you're thinkin' it's time you died,
If you been a man of action,
Though you're lying there in traction,
You will get some satisfaction,
Thinkin', "Jesus, at least I tried."
