Rantin' Rovin' Robin

from The Tracks We Leave by Tempest

/

lyrics

Oh there was a lad was born in Kyle
But whatn’a day oh whatn’a style
I doubt it’s hardly worth the while
To be so nice with Robin

Robin was a rovin’ boy
A rantin’ rovin’ rantin rovin
Robin was a rovin’ boy, rantin’ rovin’ Robin

Our monarch's hindmost year but one
Was five-and-twenty days begun
Twas then a blast o’ Januar’ wind
Blew hansel in on Robin

Oh the gossip glanced all in his loof
Quo she, ' Who lives shall see the proof
This waly boy will be nae coof
I think we’ll call him Robin

And he’ll have misfortunes great and small
But ay a heart above them all
He’ll be a credit to us all
We’ll all be proud of Robin

But as sure as three times three makes nine
I swear by every score and line
This chap will dearly like our kind
So blessings on thee Robin
