Lyrics

I've been a wild rover, for many's the year And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer And 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 And I'll play the wild rover No, nay, never; no more I went into a tavern I used to frequent And I told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me, "Nay" "Such custom as yours, I'd have any day" And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never; no more And I'll play the wild rover No, nay, never; no more I took from my pocket; ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best" But the words that I spoke, they were only in jest And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never; no more And I'll play the wild rover No, nay, never; no more And I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And when they caress me, as oft-times before Well, I never will play the wild rover no more And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never; no more And I'll play the wild rover No, nay, never; no more And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never; no more And I'll play the wild rover No, nay never; no more
