I've been a wild rover for many a year \
|
|
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer, \
|
|
And now I'm returning with gold and 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 to an ale-house 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 as yours I could have any day." \
|
|
|
|
_[Chorus]_
|
|
|
|
I took from my pocket ten soverigns bright \
|
|
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight. \
|
|
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best \
|
|
And the words that I spoke 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 forgive me as oftimes before \
|
|
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more. \
|
|
|
|
_[Chorus]_
