Sleep on, little darling
The sun's about to rise
Sleep on, little darling
Don't you open up your eyes
I'd like to stay here with you
Because you're outta sight
But baby, I'm a rover
And it's getting light
It's time to ride
Time to ride, time to ride
All I ever need, babe
I'm wearing on my back
I'm a man who travels light, babe
So I got no need to pack
I'd like to stay here with you
And try to make things right
But baby, I'm a rover
And it's getting light
It's time to ride
Time to ride, time to ride
It's true I'd want somebody walking by my side
It's fine to love somebody
But what I love is light
I'll always think about you
When I lie awake at night
But baby, I'm a rover
And it's getting light
It's time to ride
Time to ride, time to ride
