Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Rambling Robin 
When first from boyhood I came to a man To ramble the nation through I soon began Oh the rambling thought came into my mind So they christened me Rambling Robin-o So they christened me Rambling Robin 
O'er hills and o'er mountains I used for to go I slept in the woods where there's frost and there's snow No anxiety ever came into my mind So contented was rambling robin-o So contented was rambling robin 
The wind and the rain - oh they blew me quite cold Me parents at home they were both growing old Oh My father did weep and my mother did cry For the loss of their rambling robin-o 
When 16 years they were over and past My poor mother's sorrow was ended at last And my father the nation did range through and through In search of his Rambling Robin-o 
When all me past follies they came to an end To me own native village I did attend But the neighbours they told me my parents were dead Filled with grief for their rambling robin-o 
Oh where shall I wander and where shall I go Me heart - it is filled with sorrow and woe And the nation I'll wander through and through And an end put to rambling Robin-o, And an end put to rambling robin.
