Lyrics Roving Kind - The Weavers
(She
had
a
dark
and
a-rovin'
eye-uh-eye
and
her
hair
hung
down
in
ring-a-lets)
(She
was
a
nice
girl,
a
proper
girl
but
one
of
the
rovin'
kind)
As
I
cruised
out
one
eve-e-ning
upon
a
night's
career
I
spied
a
lofty
clipper
ship
and
to
her
I
did
steer
I
heisted
out
my
sig-a-nals
which
she
so
quickly
knew
And
when
she
saw
my
bunting
fly
she
imme-diately
hove
to-woo-woo
(She
had
a
dark
and
a-rovin'
eye-uh-eye
and
her
hair
hung
down
in
ring-a-lets)
(She
was
a
nice
girl,
a
proper
girl
but
one
of
the
rovin'
kind)
I
took
her
for
some
fish
and
chips
and
treated
her
so
fine
And
hardly
did
I
realize
she
was
the
rovin'
kind
I
kissed
her
lips,
I
missed
her
lips
and
found
to
my
surprise
She
was
nothin'
but
a
pirate
ship
rigged
up
in
a
dis-guy-eye-ise
(She
had
a
dark
and
a-rovin'
eye-eye-eye)
And
her
hair
hung
down
in
ring-a-lets
(She
was
a
nice
girl,
a
proper
girl
but
one
of
the
rovin'
kind)
So,
come
all
ye
good
sailor
men
who
sail
the
wintry
sea
And
come,
all
ye
apprentice
lads,
a
warnin'
take
from
me
Beware
of
lofty
clipper
ships,
they'll
be
the
ruin
of
you
For
'twas
there
she
made
me
walk
the
plank
and
pushed
me
under,
too-ooh-ooh
(She
had
a
dark
and
a-rovin'
eye-uh-eye
and
her
hair
hung
down
in
ring-a-lets)
She
was
a
nice
girl,
a
proper
girl
but
one
of
the
rovin'
kind
(She
was
a
nice
girl,
a
proper
girl
but)
One
of
the
rovin'
kind
(yo-ho!)
