[00:00:00] The Roving Kind - Rex Allen

[00:00:01] Written by：Cavanaugh Stanton

[00:00:03] As I cruised out one evening upon a night's career

[00:00:07] I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer

[00:00:12] I heisted out my signals which she so quickly knew

[00:00:16] And when she saw my bunting fly

[00:00:19] She immediately hove to woo-woo

[00:00:24] She had a dark and a-rovin' eye

[00:00:27] And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets

[00:00:30] She was a nice girl a proper girl

[00:00:34] But one of the rovin' kind

[00:00:37] "Oh pardon me" she says to me

[00:00:39] "For being out so late

[00:00:41] But if my parents heard of this

[00:00:44] Oh sad would be my fate

[00:00:46] My father is in politics a good and righteous man

[00:00:50] My mother is an acrobat

[00:00:53] I do the best I can

[00:00:58] She had a dark and a roving eye

[00:01:02] And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets

[00:01:05] She was a nice girl a proper girl

[00:01:08] But one of the roving kind

[00:01:24] I took her for some fish and chips

[00:01:26] And treated her so kind

[00:01:28] And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind

[00:01:33] I kissed her lips I missed her lips

[00:01:36] And found to my surprise

[00:01:38] She was nothin' but a pirate ship

[00:01:40] Rigged up in a disguise

[00:01:46] She had a dark and a roving eye

[00:01:49] And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets

[00:01:52] She was a nice girl a proper girl

[00:01:56] But one of the roving kind

[00:01:59] So come all you good sailor men

[00:02:02] Who sail the wintry sea

[00:02:04] And come all you apprentice lads

[00:02:06] A warning take from me

[00:02:08] Beware of lofty clipper ships

[00:02:10] They'll be the ruin of you

[00:02:12] For it was there she made me walk the plank

[00:02:15] And pushed me under too-hoo-hoo

[00:02:20] She had a dark and a roving eye

[00:02:24] And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets

[00:02:27] She was a nice girl a proper girl

[00:02:30] But one of the roving kind
