I sat me down, I'm new in town
So it's my shout sir, it's my round
the children mock me all through town
Sticks and stones all over

I'm a over drunk or sober
I go trampelling this world over
And when I die let me go
For I'm a Rover drunk or sober

In the watchful eye of Pope John Paul
I loved one girl most of all
Now I've known girls in every town
but not a one can hold me down

Cuz' I'm a over drunk or sober
I go trampelling this world over
And when I die let me go
For I'm a Rover drunk or sober

Yeah I broke that young girl's heart
And I've seen young hearts ripped apart
When Ireland called me to the clover
but now the fight is over

So I'm a over drunk or sober
I go trampelling this world over
And when I die let me go
For I'm a Rover drunk or sober
