Wild Rover - Irish Songs
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
Now I'm returning with gold in great store
I never will play the wild rover no more
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
Told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit she answered me nay
Such a custom as yours I could have any day
It's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened up with delight
She said I had whiskeys and wines of the best
The words that she told me were only in jest
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 confessed what I'd done
I'll asked them to pardon their prodigal son
If they'd caressed me as ofttimes before
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more
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
No never no more
No never no more
