I've been a Wild Rover for many's the yea And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer But now I'm returning with gold in great store And I promise to play The Wild Rover no more. REFRAIN 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 Ale House I used to fequent And I told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit she answered me nay Such custom as your I can have any day REFRAIN I took from me pocket 10 Sovereigns Bright And the landlady's legs opened wide with delight She said iI have wiskey and wines of the best And the words that I spoke were only in Jest REFRAIN I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son And when they've embrassed me as oft times before I promise to play The Wild Rover no more REFRAIN REFRAIN...
