I've been a wild rover for many is the year
and I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
but now I'm returning with money 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 to an alehouse I used to frequent
and I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit she answered me nay
such custom as yours I can have any day
and it's no nay never
no nay never no more
will I play the wild rover
no never no more
