[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G][C][G]
[C][G][C][G][C][G][Dsus4]
[G]
As valiant [C]a man

[Verse 1]
[G]had eve[C]r lef[G]t hom[Dsus4]e[G]
Well he had [C]been much [G]re duced and it [Am]caused great
con[C]fusion And [G]that was the reason [C]he started [G]to roam
In Yorkshire, near Rotherham, he had [C]been on [Dsus4]the ramble [D]And[Dsus4] weary of[D] travel[G]ing,
he had [C]sat down [Dsus4]to rest
[D]By the foo[C]t of yon mou[G]ntain by a cle[Am]ar,
crystal [C]fountain With [G]bread and cold water he him[C]self [G]did [C]refresh[G][C][G][C]
[G]With the night fast approaching to the [C]woods he re[Dsus4]sorted
With the [G]woodbine and ivy his [C]bed for [Dsus4]to make
[D]But he [C]dreamt about [G]sighing,
[Am]lamenting and [C]crying
Go [G]home to your family and
[C]rambling for[G]sake
Twas the fifth day of november, I have [C]reason to re[Dsus4]member When fi[G]rst he arrived home to his fa[C]mily and hi[Dsus4]s friends They did stand s[C]o astound[G]ed,
[Am]con fused and dumb[C]founded To s[G]ee such a stranger once [C]more in [G]their sight[C][G][C][D][G][C][G][C]
His [G]children [C]came around [G]him with their [C]verses and [G]stor[D]ies[Dsus4]
[D]Their ver[G]ses and[C] sto[G]ries to dri[C]ve care awa[Dsus4]y[D][Dsus4]
[D]Well he's as [C]happy as [G]those [Am]who have thousands of [C]riches
Con[G]tented he'll remain and not [C]rambling [G]away
This tune was composed
[C]by Spencer [Em]the Rover
As [G]valiant a man [C]had ever left [Dsus4]home
Well [G]he had [C]been much [G]re duced and it [Am]caused great con[C]fusion
And [G]that was the reason [C]he started [G]to [C]roa[G]m[C][G][C][G]
