The Wild Rover Lyrics

've been a folksinger for b***** eight year
And I sing half the night for the fun and free beer
But now that I'm older I know the score
And I never will sing 'The Wild Rover' no more
And it's no nay never (raise up your kilt), no nay never no more
Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more

I know it 's a song that pleases the folk
But I have to admit that it just makes me *choke*
A night with a tooth-ache is more fun to me
Than the singing of one verse, never mind two or three

And it's no nay never (lift up your skirt), no nay never no more
Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more
This song is requested again and again
If I'll hear it once more it will drive me insane
The words get so stupid, it just makes me wild
And the tune could be learned by a two year old child

And it's no nay never(drop down your pants), no nay never no more
Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more
So I go to a folkclub, I take a shotgun along
And I shoot the first b****** who askes for this song
The hangman will say as I fall through the floor:
"You never will sing 'The Wild Rover' no more!"

And it's no nay never (s*** on the floor), no nay never no more
Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more

And it's no nay never (raise up your kilt), no nay never no more
Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more
