lyrics

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I've spend all me money
On whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
I never will play the wild rover no more.

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never ni more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never no more.

I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
And told the landlady me money was spent
I asked for a credit, she answered me "nay"
A custom like you I can have anyday.

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never ni more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never no more.

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says " I have whiskeys and wine of the best, and the words that I told you were only in jest"

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never ni more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never no more.

I go back to my parents, confess what I'd done,
Ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they haved kissed me as often times before
I will never play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never ni more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never no more.

Drink, smoke fight,
But don't drive
