—Derbyshire (Mrs. Harley). Here comes one jolly rover, jolly rover, jolly rover, Here comes one jolly rover, jolly rover, jolly rover, A roving all day. And what do you rove for, rove for, rove for? And what do you rove for? Lily white and shining. I rove for my pleasure, my pleasure, my pleasure, I rove for my pleasure, my pleasure, my pleasure, Lily white and shining. And what is your pleasure, your pleasure, your pleasure? What is your pleasure? Lily white and shining. My pleasure’s for to marry you, to marry you, to marry you, My pleasure’s for to marry you, Lily white and shining. So through the kitchen and through the hall, I choose the fairest of them all, The fairest one that I can see Is ——, so come to me. —Derbyshire (Mrs. Harley). (_b_) A long row of children walk to and fro. One child, facing them on the opposite side, represents the Rover. He sings the first, third, and fifth verses. The row of children sing the second and fourth in response. After the fifth verse is sung the Rover skips round the long row, singing the sixth verse to the tune of “Nancy Dawson,” or “Round the Mulberry bush.” He chooses one of them, who goes to the opposite side with him, and the game goes on until all are rovers like himself. See “Here comes a Lusty Wooer,” “Jolly Hooper.” Jolly Sailors I. Here comes one [some] jolly, jolly sailor boy, Who lately came on shore; He [they] spent his time in drinking wine As we have done before. We are the Pam-a-ram-a-ram, We are the Pam-a-ram-a-ram, And those who want a pretty, pretty girl, Must kiss her on the shore, Must kiss her on the shore. —Warwick (from a little girl, through Mr. C. C. Bell). II. He was a jolly, jolly sailor boy, Who had lately come ashore; He spent his time in drinking wine As he had done before. Then we will have a jolly, jolly whirl, Then we will have a jolly, jolly whirl, And he who wants a pretty little girl Must kiss her on the shore. —Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire (Miss Matthews). III. Here comes one jolly sailor, Just arrived from shore, We’ll spend our money like jolly, jolly joes, And then we’ll work for more. We’ll all around, around and around, And if we meet a pretty little girl We’ll call her to the shore. —Northants (Rev. W. D. Sweeting). IV.

Round, round the ring we go, Round, round the ring, And he that choose his bonny, bonny lass Must kiss her on the floor. —Raunds (_Northants Notes and Queries_, i. 232).
