[Intro]
Oh, I'm a wild free-ranging rover
I roam and sing a merry song
The wide, wide world, I wonder over
With a light, light heart, I rove along

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm a wild free rover
I sing a merry song
The wide, wide world, I wonder over
With a light, light heart, I rove along
With a light, light heart, I rove along

[Verse 1]
The wind roves free o'er hill and river
And the clouds roam free along the sky
Each little bird's a wild free rover
And a rover, wild and free, am I

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm a wild free rover
I sing a merry song
The wide, wide world, I wonder over
With a light, light heart, I rove along
With a light, light heart, I rove along
[Verse 2]
The wind roams free, a wild song singing
And softly murmuring flows the stream
The birds roves free, its wild way winging
And I rove and sing with morn's first beam

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm a wild free rover
I sing a merry song
The wide, wide world, I wonder over
With a light, light heart, I rove along
With a light, light heart, I rove along

[Verse 3]
The good earth loves a wild free rover
For a roving bird is never dumb
He sings to please the dear old mother
And she-eye rewards him with a crumb

[Chorus]
Oh, I'm a wild free rover
I sing a merry song
The wide, wide world, I wonder over
With a light, light heart, I rove along
With a light, light heart, I rove along
