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 \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[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." \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[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." \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[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. \\
|
|
|
|
\textit{[Chorus] \\} |
