Is this it? Susu CHORUS (AFTER EACH VERSE): I am a rover, and that's well known: I am a-bound for to leave my home; Leaving my friends and my dear to mourn; My bonny lass, till I return. She drew a chair, and bade me sit down, And soon she'd told me her heart I'd won: She turned her head when I took my leave - Farewell my lass, for me don't grieve. Oh, am I bound or am I free? Oh, am I bound for to marry thee? A married life you soon shall see, A contented mind's no jealousy. I sat me down for to write a song, I wrote it wide and I wrote it long, At every line I cried "My dear" At every word, I shed a tear. As I rode over yon dreary moor, Ere I lost sight of my true love's door, My legs were lame and my eyes were blind - I'd left my bonny lass behind.
