The Rambling Rover  
(Andy M. Stewart)

Chorus:

There are sober men and plenty
And drunkards barely twenty
There are men over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl.
But give me a rambling rover
From Orkney down to Dover
We'll roam the country over
And together we'll face the world.

There are men who gain enjoyment from merciless employment.
Their ambition was this deployment from the minute they left the school.
They scrimp and save and ponder while the rest go out and squander.
See the world and roam and wander, and their happy as a rule.

I've been through all the nations, delight in all creations.
And enjoyed a wee sensation when the company did prove kind.
When parting was no pleasure, I've drunk another measure
To the good friends that I'll treasure for they always are in my mind.

If your bent with arthritis, your bowels have got colitis
You've got galloping bollock-itis, and your thinking it's time you died
And you've been a man of action and your lying there in traction
You can gain some satisfaction thinking "Jaysus, at least I tried."
