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
