Lyrics The Wild Rover (traditional)And it's no, nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more
I've been a wild rover for many's the 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
And it's no, nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more
I went into 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 can't have any day
And it's no, nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more
I then took from my pocket ten souverins bright And the landlady's eyes opened up with delight She says I have whiskeys and wines of the best And the words that you told me were only in jest
And it's no, nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more
And it's no, nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more
I go home to my mother, confess what i've done And I'll ask her to pardon her prodigal son And when she's forgiven me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more
And it's no, nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more
And it's no, nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more |
