The Shelor Family - Billy Grimes, The Rover Lyrics

Font:

Align:

Tomorrow morn I'll be sixteen

And Billy Grimes, the rover

He's popped the question to me, Ma

And he wants to be my lover

And he'll be here in the morning, Ma

And he'll be there quite early

To take a pleasant walk with me

Across yon fields of barley

Oh, daughter, dear, you shall not go

There is no use in talking

You shall not go with Billy Grimes

Across yon fields a-walking

Just think of such presumption too

The dirty ugly rover

I wonder where your pride has gone

To think of such a lover

Oh, Mama dear, I must confess

That Billy isn't quite clever

But a nicer beau could not be found

In this wide world all over

Oh, daughter dear, I am surprised

At your infatuation

To think of having Billy Grimes

It would be ruination

Oh, Mama dear, old Grimes is dead

And Billy is the only

Surviving heir of all that's left

About six thousand yearly

Oh, daughter dear, I did not hear

Your last remarks quite clearly

But Billy is a nice young man

And no doubt loves you dearly
