Lyrics
(Folk song)
Who will come with me, the jolly jolly rover?
Who will come with me, the jolly jolly rover?
And see and see and see what we can see?
Who will walk with me, the jolly jolly rover?
Who will walk with me, the jolly jolly rover?
And see and see and see what we can see?
…skip…
…hop…
…walk…
…skate…
