SONG:Roving Kind

(she had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(she was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)

as i cruised out one eve-e-ning upon a night's career
i spied a lofty clipper ship and to her i did steer
i heisted out my sig-a-nals which she so quickly knew
and when she saw my bunting fly she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo
(she had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
(she was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)
I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine
and hardly did i realize she was the rovin' kind
i kissed her lips, i missed her lips and found to my surprise
she was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a dis-guy-eye-ise
(she had a dark and a-rovin' eye-eye-eye)
and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
(she was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)
So, come all ye good sailor men who sail the wintry sea
and come, all ye apprentice lads, a warnin' take from me
beware of lofty clipper ships, they'll be the ruin of you
for 'twas there she made me walk the plank and pushed me under, too-ooh-ooh
(she had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
she was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind
(she was a nice girl, a proper girl but)
one of the rovin' kind (yo-ho!)
