The Wild Rover

Well I've been the wild rover for many's the year

And I spent all my money whiskey and beer

Now I'm returning with gold in great store

Sure I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no nay never no they never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

Went into an ale house I used to frequent

I told the landlady my money was spent

I asked her for credit she answered me nay

Such a custom as yours I can get any day

And it's no nay never no they never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

Reached into a pocket for sovereign bright

And the landlady's eyes open wide with delight

She says I have whiskey and wines of the best

And the words that I spoke to her surely adjust

And it's no nay never no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover no never no more

And it's no nay never no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

I'll go back to my parents confess what I've done

And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son

Well if they caress me as of times before

Sure I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no nay never no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

And it's no nay never no

Nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more
