Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D][Em]

[Verse 1]
This [D]tune was composed
by [Em]Spencer the Rover
As [D]valiant a man as [Em]ever left home
And he had [G]been much
re[D]duced
[Em]Which caused great confusion
And that [D]was the reason [Em]he star
ted [D]to roam
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 2]
In [D]Yorkshire near Rotherham,
he had [Em]been on the ramble
[D]Weary of traveling, he sat [Em]down to rest
By the [G]foot of yon' moun[D]tain
Lays a [Em]clear flowing fountain
With [D]bread and cold water
he him[Em]self did refresh
[D][Em][D][Em]

[Verse 3]
With the [D]night fast approaching,
to the wood[Em]s he resorted
With [D]woodbine and ivy his
bed [Em]for to make
But he [G]dreamt about sigh[F#m]ing
Lament[Em]ing and crying
[A]Go hom[D]e to your family and ram
[Em]bling [D]forsake
[Em][G][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
'Twas the fifth [D]day of November,
[Em]I've reason to remember
When [D]first he arrived home to
[Em]his family and friends
And they did [G]stand so [D]astounded
Sur[Em]prised and dumbfounded
To [D]see such a stranger [Em]once more
in their [D]sight
[G][D][Em]

[Verse 5]
And his [D]children come around him with
[Em]their prittle prattling stories
[D]With their prittle prattling stories
[Em]to drive care away
And he's as [G]happy as [D]those
As have [Em]thousands of riches
Con[D]tented he'll remain and
not [Em]ramble away
[D][G]

[Verse 6]
[D][Em]
This tune [D]was composed by
Spen[Em]cer the Rover
As vali[D]ant a man as [Em]ever left home
And [D]he had [G]been much reduced
[D]And cau[Em]sed great confusion
And [D]that was the reason he star[Em]ted
[D]to roam

[Outro 1]
[G][D][Em][D][Em][D][Em][D][Em][D]
