This tune was composed by Spencer the rover _
_ _ As Valiant a man had ever left _ home
Well he [Eb] had been much [Bb] reduced and [Cm] it _ caused great [Eb] _ confusion _ _
[Bb] And that was the reason he [Ebm] _ _ started [Bb] to roam _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
In Yorkshire near Otherham he [Eb] had been on [Bb] the ramble
_ _ And weary of travelling [Eb] he'd sat down [Bbm] to _ [F] rest
[Bb] By [Eb] the foot of a [Bb] young mountain [Cm] by a clean _ _ [Eb] crystal fountain _ _
[Bb] With bread and cold water [Eb] he _ himself _ [Bb]
dared refrain _ _ _
With _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb]
the night fast approaching [Eb] to the world she [F] _ resorted
_ [Bb] _ With the wood by the night he [Eb] is fed [Bb] for two _ maids
[Eb] But he dreamt [Bb] about sighing [Cm] in the mountain [Bb] _
[Eb] and crying
_ Go [Bb] home to your family [Eb] and _ grub, plan [Bb] for a _ stay _
_ _ _ _ _
But the day of November _
[Eb] every's earned [Bb] to remember
_ _ When first he arrived home to [Gm] his family [F] and his _ [Bb] friends
[Eb] They'd just stand so [Bb] astounded, _
[Cm] _ _ [Bb] confused, damned, [Eb] and funded _ _
[Bb] To see such a stranger once [Eb] more _ [Bb] in their sight _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
La la la [Eb] la la, _ _ _ [Bb] _

[Bb] His children came around home with their verses and their _ stories
_ Their verses and stories to drive care _ _ [F] away
Well [Eb] he's as happy [Bb] as those [Cm] that have _ _ thousands [Eb] of riches _ _
[Bb] Content that he remained and not _ _ _ rubble _ _ _ away _
Still more composed [Eb] advice than [Gm] Sir _ _ Grover
[Bb] As valiant a man [Eb] that ever [Bb] left _ _ home
[Eb] He had been [Bb] much reduced [Cm] and _ [Bb] caused great [Eb] _ confusion _ _ _
[Bb] That was the reason [Eb] he _ stopped at [Bb] the _ _ _ _ ocean
