I've been a wild rover for many the year and I spent all my money on whiskey and beer, but 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 nay never no more |
|
|
I went to an ale-house I used to frequent and I told the landlady my money was spent. I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay such a custom like yours I could have any day". |
|
|
Chorus |
|
|
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady's eyes opend wide with delight. She said "I have wiskey and wines of the best and the words that I spoke sure were only in jest". |
|
|
Chorus |
|
|
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 caress me as oft times before sure I never will play the wild rover no more. |
