I've Been a Rover- Eli Bollen (Som) 1904 Sharp MS

[My title. Single stanza with music from Cecil Sharp Manuscript Collection (at Clare College, Cambridge) (CJS2/10/242)

R. Matteson 2017]

I've Been A Rover- sung by Eli Bollen of Ilchester, Somerset on 1 August, 1904. Collector: Cecil J. Sharp

I've been a rover and that's well known
And now I'm bound to leave my home
To leave my friends to sigh and mourn
And my bonny girl till I return.
