The Wild Rover

Sleep on, little darlin', the sun's about to rise, sleep on, little darlin',
don't you open up your eyes.
I'd like to stay here with you, because you're outta sight, but baby, I'm a
rover, and it's getting light.
It's time to ride, time to ride, time to ride...
All I ever need, babe, I'm wearin' on my back, I'm a man who travels light,
babe, so I got no need to pack.
I'd like to stay here with you, and try to make things right, but baby, I'm
a rover, and it's getting light.
It's time to ride, time to ride, time to ride....
It's true I want somebody walkin' by my side, it's fine I love somebody, but
what I love is wide.
I'll always think about you when I lie awake at night, but baby, I'm a
rover, and it's getting light.
It's time to ride, time to ride, time to ride...
