I've been a wild rover for many's the year
|
and I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
|
and now I'm returning with gold in great store
|
and I never will play the wild rover no more
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never!
|
No more will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more
|
|
I went into an alehouse that I used to frequent
|
and I told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit,
|
she answered me nay such a custom like yours I could have any day
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
|
and the landlady's eyes opened up with delight
|
she said she had whiskeys and wines of the best
|
and the words that she told me were only in jest
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I went home to my parents, confessed what I'd done
|
and I asked them to pardon their prodigal son
|
and when they'd forgave me as oft times before
|
I never will play the wild rover no more
|
|
[Chorus]
