KEY: D
CHORUS
D
There are sober men and plenty, and drunkards barely twenty,
GDEmF#mG
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.
GDGA7DA7-
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,
GDEmF#mG
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,
GDGA7G
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,
GDEmF#mG
And enjoyed a wee sensation, where the company, it was kind.
D
And when partin' was no pleasure, I've drunk another measure
GDGA7G
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,
GDEmF#mG
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,
GDGA7G
You will get some satisfaction, thinkin', "Jesus, at least I tried."
