This tune was composed by Spencer the Rover
was as valiant a man as ever left home
Well, he had been matured, you said
and he caused great confusion
and that wasn't the reason he started to roam
The auctioneer of the Raleigh
and the Raleigh of the Raleigh

had been on the ramble
Being weary of his travelling
he sat down to rest
By the foot of a young mountain
there lies a clear crystal fountain
With the red and cold water
he himself did refresh
A night of fast approaching
into the woods he resorted
When the woodmine and the ivy
his bed fought to make
But he dreamt about sighing
lamenting and crying
Go home to your family
and his rambling
for sake
Who's the fifth day of November
I've a reason to remember
When first he arrived home
to his family and his friends
Well, they did stand so astounded
Surprised and dumbfounded
To see such a stranger once more
To see such a stranger once more

We're all in their sight
And then his children come around him
with their wiggly crackling stories
I've heard their prattle-prattling stories
To drive care away
He is as happy as the leavers
of thousands of riches
Far from country's nameless dreams

Contented you'll remain in love all the way
And isn't you was composed by Spencer the Rover
Who was as valiant a man as ever left home
Well, you'd been much ridder, you said
And it caused great confusion
And that was the reason he started to roam
