Here's Roberto's request:

I'd like to get the lyrics of the song as sung by Dolly Greer, in The Doc Watson Family Tradition (Rounder). Two major difficulties, where I've put question marks. Thank you. Roberto

A-roving on last winter's night
A-drinking good old wine
And a-calling (?) off that pretty little girl
That broke this heart of mine

For she is like a bud of rose
That blooms in the month of June
She's like a music instrument
That's just been lately tuned

Oh, who's a-gonna shoe your poor little feet?
And it's who's a-gonna glove your hands?
Oh, it's who's a-gonna kiss your ruby red lips
And it's who's a-gonna be your man

Oh, papa will shoe my poor little feet
And mama will glove my hand
And (?) you can kiss my ruby red lips
And (?) you can be my man

Perhaps it's a trip to a foreign land
A trip to France or Spain
But if I go ten thousand miles
I'm a-coming back again
