The Modena Rambler

My name's Alberto Cottica I've traveled wide and I've traveled far For years in pubs and clubs and bars I've played The Wild Rover But I'll say""Ciao"" to the girls I've kissed ""Goodbye"" to the pubs where I've got pissed I can't say you won't be missed But our time together is over Fare thee well to London town The time has come to settle down Goodbye to all the friends I've known The Modena Rambler's going home When I was young and in my prime Restless, I made up my mind To leave Modena City behind Around the world to roam Over moors and hills I've rambled And through red light districts ambled Out of police cells I've scrambled Now I'm going home Fare thee well to London town The time has come to settle down Goodbye to all the friends I've known The Modena Rambler's going home Went into an alehouse I used to frequent Told the landlady my money was spent With my credit card she was content So I bought a round Now this prodicle bambino 'Swapping warm flat beer for vino Instant coffee for Cappuccino I'm Modena bound Fare thee well to London town The time has come to settle down Goodbye to all the friends I've known The Modena Rambler's going home
