(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 But One 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 But One 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



(She Had A Dark And A-rovin' Eye-eye-eye)

And Her Hair Hung Down In Ring-a-lets

(She Was A Nice Girl, A Proper Girl But One 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 But One Of The Rovin' Kind



(She Was A Nice Girl, A Proper Girl But)

One Of The Rovin' Kind (yo-ho!)
