Cover a roof (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tar

(Other definitions for tar that I've seen before include "Sailor (colloq.)" , "Viscous bituminous substance" , "one may need to pay on boat" , "Liquid from wood, coal" , "Road surfacing or old sailor" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
