Lyrics Spencer the Rover - John Martyn
This
tune
was
composed
by
Spencer
the
Rover
As
valiant
a
man
as
ever
left
home
And
he
had
been
much
reduced
Which
caused
great
confusion
And
that
was
the
reason
he
started
to
roam
In
Yorkshire
near
Rotherham,
he
had
been
on
the
ramble
Weary
of
traveling,
he
sat
down
to
rest
By
the
foot
of
yon'
mountain
Lays
a
clear
flowing
fountain
With
bread
and
cold
water
he
himself
did
refresh
With
the
night
fast
approaching,
to
the
woods
he
resorted
With
woodbine
and
ivy
his
bed
for
to
make
But
he
dreamt
about
sighing
Lamenting
and
crying
Go
home
to
your
family
and
rambling
forsake
'Twas
the
fifth
day
of
November,
I've
reason
to
remember
When
first
he
arrived
home
to
his
family
and
friends
And
they
did
stand
so
astounded
Surprised
and
dumbfounded
To
see
such
a
stranger
once
more
in
their
sight
And
his
children
come
around
him
with
their
prittle
prattling
stories
With
their
prittle
prattling
stories
to
drive
care
away
And
he's
as
happy
as
those
As
have
thousands
of
riches
Contented
he'll
remain
and
not
ramble
away
This
tune
was
composed
by
Spencer
the
Rover
As
valiant
a
man
as
ever
left
home
And
he
had
been
much
reduced
And
caused
great
confusion
And
that
was
the
reason
he
started
to
roam
