The Wild Rover
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1 - Pat, Ralf] I've been a wild rover for many's the year And 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 Went into an alehouse 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 can have every day" [Chorus] And its no nay never, no nay never no more Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more [Verse 2 - Pat, Ralf] I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She says "I have whiskey and wines of the best" "And the words that you told me were only in jest" I'll go home to me parents, confess what I'd done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And when they've caressed me as ofttimes before I never will play the wild rover no more [Chorus] And its no nay never, no nay never no more Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more And its no nay never, no nay never no more Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more [Verse 3 - Pat, Ralf] I've been a wild rover for many's the year And 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 its no nay never, no nay never no more Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more And its no nay never, no nay never no more Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more [Chorus] And its no nay never, no nay never no more Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more And its no nay never, no nay never no more Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
