I sat me down, I'm new in town So it's my shout sir, it's my round the children mock me all through town Sticks and stones all over I'm a over drunk or sober I go trampelling this world over And when I die let me go For I'm a Rover drunk or sober In the watchful eye of Pope John Paul I loved one girl most of all Now I've known girls in every town but not a one can hold me down Cuz' I'm a over drunk or sober I go trampelling this world over And when I die let me go For I'm a Rover drunk or sober Yeah I broke that young girl's heart And I've seen young hearts ripped apart When Ireland called me to the clover but now the fight is over So I'm a over drunk or sober I go trampelling this world over And when I die let me go For I'm a Rover drunk or sober
