I've been a Wild Rover for manys a year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returnin' 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 into a alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the land lady me money was spent
I asked for her for credit she answered me
NAAAAY
SUCH A CUSTOM AS YOURS I COULD HAVE ANY DAY
No! Nay! Never!
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the Wild Rover
No never, no more
Then out of my pockets I took sovereigns bright
And the land lady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said
I HAVE WHISKEY AND WINES OF THE BEST
AND THE WORDS THAT I SPOKE THE WERE ONLY IN JEST
No! Nay! Never!
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the Wild Rover
No never, no more
No! Nay! Never!
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the Wild Rover
No never, no more
I'll go home to me parents confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they'd caress me as off times before
Then 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
And its No! Nay! Never!
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the Wild Rover
No never, no more
1 2 3 4!
