The Wild Rover

I've been a wild rover for many a year

I spent all me 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

Chorus:

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

Sure a custom like yours I could get any day"

chorus

And from my pocket I took sovereigns bright

And the landlady's eyes, they lit up with delight

She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best

And the words that I spoke, sure were only in jest"

chorus

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 forgive me as oft-times before

Then I promise I'll play the wild rover no more

chorus (x2)
