I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I've 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
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 me money's all spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me, "Nay"
Saying, "A custom like yours I can get any day"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more
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 to you were only a jest"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more
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
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover?
No never, no more
