[Chorus]
I have been a rover, I have walked alone
Hiked a-hundred highways, never found a home
Still in all I'm happy, the reason is, you see
Once in a-while along the way, love's been good to me

There was a girl, in denver, before the summer storm
Oh, her eyes were tender, oh, her arms were warm
And she could smile away thunder, kiss away the rain
And even though she's gone away, you won't hear me complain

[Chorus]

There was a girl, in Portland, before the Winter chill
We used to go a-courting, along October hill
And she could laugh away the dark clouds, cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday as down the road I go

[Chorus]
