Aroving
A-roving, a-roving
Since roving been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
I put my hand upon her toe
Mark well what I do say
I put my hand upon her toe
She says, "Young man you're very slow"
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
A-roving, a-roving, since roving been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
I put my hand upon her calf
Mark well what I do say
I put my hand upon her calf
She says, "Please don't do things by half."
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
A-roving, a-roving, since roving been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
I put my hand upon her knee
Mark well what I do say
I put my hand upon her knee
She says, "Young man your rather free."
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
A-roving, a-roving, since roving been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
I put my hand upon her thigh
Mark well what I do say
I put my hand upon her thigh
She says, "Now you are getting nigh."
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
A-roving, a-roving, since roving been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
Then she cast her garments low
Mark well what I do say
Twas then she cast her garments low
She says, "Now you know what I know."
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
A-roving, a-roving, since roving been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
I took one look and nearly died
Mark well what I do say
I took one look and nearly died
Twas secret agent Henry Hyde.
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
A-roving, a-roving, since roving been my ru-i-in
I'll go no more a-roving with you fair maid.
