LYRICS

I've been a wild rover for many a year 

And I spent all my 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 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 as yours I could have any day." 

chorus

 I took from my pocket ten sovereigns 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 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 (forgive) me as ofttimes before 

Sure I never will play the wild rover no more. 

chorus
