The Rover

I've been to London, seen seven wonders
I know to trip is just to fall
I used to rock it, sometimes I'd roll it
I always knew what it was for
There can be no denying that the wind'll shake 'em down
And the flag we're flying is the new flag of the land
Just join hands if we could just join hands
If we could just join
With fields aplenty when Heaven sent me
I saw the kings who ruled them all
Still by the firelight and purple moonlight
I hear the rustic river's call
And the wind is crying
From a love that won't grow cold
My lover, she is lying
On the dark side of the globe
Could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Do it now, you got me rocking when I oughta be rolling
Darling, tell me, darling, which way to go
Keep me rocking baby, can you keep me strolling
Won'tcha tell me, darling, which way to go, that's right
Oh how I wonder, oh how I worry
And I would dearly like to know
How all this squander of earthly plunder
Will leave us anything to show
And our time is flying
See the candle burning low
Is the new world rising
From the shambles of the old
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just, if we could just
If we could just join hands
If we could just join hands
That's all it takes, that's all it takes
That's all it takes, that's all it takes
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
That's right, that's right
That's right, that's right
