lyrics
I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And 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
I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay!”
”Such a custom as yours I could have any day”
And it's no, nay, never,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest”
And it's no, nay, never,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress me as oftimes before
Then I promise I'll 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
