Rove Riley Rove
Rove Riley Rove is a traditional American Appalachian tune.
Lyrics
I went up on a mountain,
Gave my horn a blow,
Thought I hear my true love say,
Yonder comes by beau.
Chorus:
Rove Riley, rove,
Rove Riley, rove,
Rove Riley, poor boy,
Ain’t got nowhere to go.
Mama give me meat,
Mother give me bread,
Pretty girl, give me one sweet kiss,
Like to done killed me dead.
(Chorus)
Went up on a mountain,
Done stripped me a load of cane,
Make me a barrel of molasses,
Sweet Miss Liza Jane.
(Chorus)
Daddy had a great big house,
A hundred stories high,
Every story in that house,
Was filled with chicken pie.
