Intro: F    Bm


D                 D*   Bm
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
D              D*   Bm
As valiant a man as ever left home
Em5*                  Em4*
And he had been much reduced
Em*
And caused great confusion
D                  D*         Bm         D*        Bm      D*      Bm
And that was the reason he started to roam


D                     D*    Bm
In Yorkshire near Rotherham, he had been on the ramble
D                 D*   Bm
Weary of traveling, he sat down to rest
Em5*                   Em4*
By the foot of yon? mountain
Em*
Lays a clear flowing fountain
D                  D*         Bm         D*        Bm       D*      Bm
With bread and cold water he himself did refresh


D                 D*   Bm
With the night fast approaching, to the woods he resorted
D              D*   Bm
With woodbine and ivy his bed for to make
Em5*                  Em4*
But he dreamt about sighing
Em*
Lamenting and crying
D                  D*         Bm         D*        Bm      D*      Bm
Go home to your family and rambling forsake

D                     D*       Bm
'Twas the fifth day of November, I've reason to remember
D                     D*       Bm
When first he arrived home to his family and friends
Em5*                  Em4*
And they did stand so astounded
Em*
Surprised and dumbfounded
D                  D*     Bm         D*        Bm      D*      Bm
To see such a stranger once more in their sight

D                       D*       Bm
And his children come around him with their prittle prattling stories
D                              D*    Bm
With their prittle prattling stories to drive care away
Em5*                  Em4*
And he's as happy as those
Em*
As have thousands of riches
D                  D*      Bm         D*        Bm      D*      Bm
Contented he'll remain and not ramble away

D                 D*   Bm
This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
D              D*   Bm
As valiant a man as ever left home
Em5*                  Em4*
And he had been much reduced
Em*
And caused great confusion
D                  D*         Bm         D*        Bm      D*      Bm
And that was the reason he started to roam
