The Dubliners "Ramblin Rover" Chorus

Oh, there are ^Dsober men and plenty, And drunkards barely twenty, There are ^Gmen of over ^Dninety, Who have ^Emnever yet kissed a ^Ggirl. But give ^Dme a rambling rover,

Then cart me down to Dover,

We'll ^Grove the country ^Dover, And tog^Emether we'll ^Aface the ^Dworld.

verse 1:

Oh, they ^Droamed through all the nations Taken delight in all creation And I've t^Gried a wee sen^Dsation, When the ^Emcompany did prove k^Gind. Then when ^Dparting was no pleasure

I drank another measure

To the ^Ggood friends that we ^Dtreasure For they'll ^Emalways be ^Aon my ^Dmind.

Chorus

Oh, there are ^Dsober men and plenty, And drunkards barely twenty, There are ^Gmen of over ^Dninety, Who have ^Emnever yet kissed a ^Ggirl. But give ^Dme a rambling rover,

Then cart me down to Dover,

We'll ^Grove the country ^Dover, And tog^Emether we'll ^Aface the ^Dworld.

verse 2:

There are ^Dthose who feign enjoyment From merciless employment Their ^Gmission was ^Ddeployment From the ^Emminute they left th^Ge school And they save, ^Dscrape and plunder

While the rest go out and squander

See the^G world and r^Dove and wander And ^Emthey're happ^Aier as a ^Dfool.

Chorus

Oh, there are ^Dsober men and plenty, And drunkards barely twenty, There are ^Gmen of over ^Dninety, Who have ^Emnever yet kissed a ^Ggirl. But give ^Dme a rambling rover,

Then cart me down to Dover,

We'll ^Grove the country ^Dover, And tog^Emether we'll ^Aface the ^Dworld.

verse 3:

If you're ^Dbent with arthritis Your bowels have got colitis You've a g^Galloping bolloc^Dkitis And your ^Emthinking it's time you'd ^Gdied If you've ^Dbeen a man of action

You're lying there in traction

You can ^Ggain some satis^Dfaction Thinkin' &^Emquot;Golly^A, at lea^Dst I tried".

Chorus

Oh, there are ^Dsober men and plenty, And drunkards barely twenty, There are ^Gmen of over ^Dninety, Who have ^Emnever yet kissed a ^Ggirl. But give ^Dme a rambling rover,

Then cart me down to Dover,

We'll ^Grove the country ^Dover, And tog^Emether we'll ^Aface the ^Dworld.
