[Intro]
[Chorus]
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s over
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s done
I ll sit beneath the fiddle tree
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun
[Verse]
An old man looks in his inglenook and he wonders
His brother in a foreign land he must remain
When doubt about the life he d choose
They each would wear the other one s shoes
This motherland is a source of constant pain
[Chorus]
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s over
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s done
I ll sit beneath the fiddle tree
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun
[Instrumental]
x3
[Verse]
All my life I have lived within these borders
While he has gone to retrieve the setting sun
In the pitch-black Highland night
He s toiling in the sunshine bright
Do the time while summer passes by
[Chorus]
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s over
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s done
I ll sit beneath the fiddle tree
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun
[Instrumental]
x3
x3
[Verse]
Rumbling Brig, I heard your voices calling
In the outback, still I hear your song
Feeding from this foreign field
With far more fish than the burn could yield
This trip will be my last and it won t be long
[Chorus]
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s over
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s done
I ll sit beneath the fiddle tree
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun
[Chorus]
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s over
Oh, no more will I rove no more, it s done
I ll sit beneath the fiddle tree
With the ghost of Neil Gow next to me
Listen, Neil, your apprentice has begun
[Outro]
