The Roving Kind-Guy Mitchell
had She a dark and a-rovin' eye
uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl,
a proper girl butone of the rovin' kind
As I cruised out one eve-e-ning
upon a night's career
I spied a lofty clipper ship
and to her I did steer
I heisted out my sig-a-nals
which she so quickly knew
And when she saw my bunting fly
she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo
She had a dark and a-rovin'
eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl,
a proper girl butone of the rovin' kind
I took her for some fish
and chips and treated her so fine
And hardly did I realize
she was the rovin' kind
I kissed her lips,
I missed her lips and found to my surprise
She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up
in a dis-guy-eye-ise
had a She dark and a-rovin' eye-eye-eye
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl,
a proper girl butone of the rovin' kind
So, come all ye good sailor men
who sail the wintry sea
And come, all ye apprentice lads,
a warnin' take from me
Beware of lofty clipper ships,
they'll be the ruin of you
For 'twas there she made me walk the plank
and pushed me under, too-ooh-ooh
She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye
and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
She was a nice girl,
a proper girl butone of the rovin' kind
She was a nice girl, a proper girl but
One of the rovin' kind yo-ho!
