1
(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
2
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)
3
As I cruised out one eve-e-ning upon a night's career
4
I spied a lofty clipper ship and to her I did steer
5
I heisted out my sig-a-nals which she so quickly knew
6
And when she saw my bunting fly she imme-diately hove to-woo-woo
7
(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
8
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)
9
I took her for some fish and chips and treated her so fine
10
And hardly did I realize she was the rovin' kind
11
I kissed her lips, I missed her lips and found to my surprise
12
She was nothin' but a pirate ship rigged up in a dis-guy-eye-ise
13
(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-eye-eye)
14
And her hair hung down in ring-a-lets
15
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind)
16
So, come all ye good sailor men who sail the wintry sea
17
And come, all ye apprentice lads, a warnin' take from me
18
Beware of lofty clipper ships, they'll be the ruin of you
19
For 'twas there she made me walk the plank and pushed me under, too-ooh-ooh
20
(She had a dark and a-rovin' eye-uh-eye and her hair hung down in ring-a-lets)
21
She was a nice girl, a proper girl but one of the rovin' kind
22
(She was a nice girl, a proper girl but)
23
One of the rovin' kind (yo-ho!)
