This is how I hear it: THE WILD ROVER Words by Ernie Sheldon, music by Jerry Goldsmith As sung by Ellen Smith in the film "Wild Rovers" (1971) 1. I saw a wild rover; he was drinking his fill. Take it easy, boys; take it slow. Fell off his pony; not a drop did he spill. Bound away to Mexico. CHORUS CHORUS: "Then fare you well," the wild rover cried As he started on his long lonesome ride. No hill too steep, no river too wide For a cowboy who is a wild rover. 2. He was born on the saddle of a cold-blooded mare. Take it easy, boys; take it slow. His pa was a lion and his ma was a bear. Bound away to Mexico. CHORUS 3. Says a man who gets married, he gets roped like a steer. Take it easy, boys; take it slow. Thinks a woman'll brand him then she'll ration his beer. Bound away to Mexico. CHORUS
