Wild Rover
Well, I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer,
And now I'm returning with the 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 nay no more.
Well, I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent.
Well, 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 nay no more.
I took out from my pockets ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
She said 'I have the whiskey and wines of the best
And the words I just told you were only in jest.'
And it's no, nay, never,

No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never nay no more.
(Here we go!)
And it's no, nay, never,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never nay no more.
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
Oh, And if they caress me as ofttimes before
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 nay no more.
(One last time!)
And it's no, nay, never,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover
No never nay no more.
