Oh, the sober men are plenty
And drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Fae Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over
And together we'll face the world
There's many that feign enjoyment
From merciless employment
Their ambition was their deployment
From the minute they left the school
And they save and scrape and ponder
While the rest go out and squander
See the world and rove and wander
And are happier as a rule
Oh, the sober men are plenty
And drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Fae Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over
And together we'll face the world
I've roamed through all the nations
In delight of all creations
And enjoyed a wee sensation
Where the company did prove kind
And when partin' was no pleasure
I've drunk another measure
To the good friends that we treasure
For they always are in our mind
Oh, the sober men are plenty
And drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Fae Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over
And together we'll face the world
If you're bent wi' arthritis
And your bowels have got Colitis
And you've gallopin' bollockitis
And you're thinkin' it's time you died
If you been a man o' action
Though you're lying there in traction
You will get some satisfaction
Thinkin', "Jesus, at least I tried"
Oh, the sober men are plenty
And drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Fae Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over
And together we'll face the world
Oh, the sober men are plenty
And drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Fae Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over
And together we'll face the world
