Song of the Rover

Song of the Rover

(Bob Nolan)

I'm coming home....

I’ve been away but there’ll come a day so, Darling, don’t you cry.

Here comes your rover, coming home!

Packing my pack and back on track and straight as an arrow flies,

Here comes your rover, coming home!

Back to the open range and roping one little gal I knew.

Back to the waving sage and saving all my love for you.

Open the gate and stand there waiting, smile as I come by.

Here comes your rover, coming home!

I’ve got a yearning home fires burning, Darling, don’t you cry.

Here comes your rover, coming home!

I see the light of your eyes so bright and I see a clear blue sky.

Here comes your rover coming home!

Out of a storm cloud into a warm cloud, timing each step to you.

Watching the rainbow down by the lane go climbing to heaven, too.

One little mile more save me a smile for, Darling, you know why--

Here comes your rover coming home!
