Ways Of A Rover

Intro verse 1 I've travelled East, I've travelled West, and I've been South of the border, Sometimes sober, often drunk, and sometimes out of order Sometimes I've been true to love, and Sometimes I've betrayed it. But when it's time tae cop me whack, then I've coughed up and paid it Chorus I swore by the light of the morning sun, My drinking days were o-ver, But that very night I was back in town, following the ways of a rover Instrumental verse 2 When we toast for auld lang syne freens, Absent or departed, I'll drink tae my ain true love, though she was fickle hearted, then Lay me doon wi' another lass wi' a Heid for wine and brandy Who gives a shite for a cutty stool? Its hey for houghmagandie Chorus I swore by the light of the morning sun, My drinking days were o-ver, But that very night I was back in town, following the ways of a rover Instrumental verse 3 I was born and raised a pagan You could call it my vocation I hate your christian morals With your rules and regulations Through the smoke of innocence, like Quaens we'll reel and spin oh Doon the gorgeous avenue Ye call the path of sin, when Chorus I swore by the light of the morning sun, My drinking days were o-ver, But that very night I was back in town, following the ways of a rover Chorus I swore by the light of the morning sun, My drinking days were o-ver, But that very night I was back in town, following the ways of a rover
