Chorus
There are (D)sober men a-plenty
And drunkards barely twenty
There are (G)men of over (D)ninety
Who have (Em)never yet kissed a (G)girl
But give (D)me a rambling rover
From Orkney down to Dover
We will (G)roam the country (D)over
And to(Em)gether we'll (A)face the (D)world
There are (D)many who seek enjoyment
Of merciless employment
Their am(G)bition this de(D)ployment
Since the (Em)minute they left the (G)school
And they (D)scrape and save and ponder
While the rest go out and squander
See the (G)world and rove and (D)wander
For they're (Em)happier (A)as a (D)rule
Chorus
I have (D)roamed through all the nations
Took delight in all creation
I've en(G)joyed a wee sen(D)sation
When the (Em)company did prove (G)kind
When (D)parting was no pleasure
I drank another measure
To the (G)good friends that we (D)treasure
For they (Em)always are on (A)our (D)mind
Chorus
If you're (D)bent with arthritis
And your bowels have got colitis
You've gal(G)loping bollo(D)ckitis
And your (Em)thinking it's time you'd (G)died
If you've (D)been a man of action
And you're lying there in traction
You can (G)gain some satis(D)faction
Thinkin' "(Em)J''''', at (A)least I (D)tried"
Chorus twice
There are (D)sober men a-plenty
