Wild Rover (Of Draum Broedr)

 The Wild Rover of Draum Broedr

Written by Potter, this used to be a popular song, however, it is sung less now that we are doing more Medieval shows. Still, it is the first song we wrote to this tune and is still good to sing.

Well I've sailed with Draum Broedr for many a year

And I spent all my nights drinking Moniack and beer,

But now I've returned with a great golden hoard,

And I never will raid with Draum Broedr no more!

CHORUS

And it's no, nay, never

No, nay, never, no more,

Will I raid with Draum Broedr,

No never, no more.

Well we've crossed many oceans and walked on strange sands,

And great men have surrendered their money and lands.

They've got down on their knees if they valued their lives,

And while they were at it we pilfered their wives.

Chorus

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">I went home to me parents, and said what I'd done,

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">They were ever so proud of their stout-hearted son.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">For I'd gained so much silver and gold by the sword,

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">That I never need raid with Draum Broedr no more!

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">Chorus

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">And yet as the days pass, I find that I'm bored,

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">For a battle's more fun than a brace of young whores!

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">I confess that I miss the life I had before.

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">Oh I think I shall raid with Draum Broedr once more!

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: center;">Chorus
