The Wild Rover Lyrics

Now I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer,
But now I'm returning with gold in full store
And I never will play the wild rover no more.
So it's no, no, never,
never no more,
Oh, I never will play the wild rover no more.

Well I went to a joint that I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent.
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay,
a customer like you I could find any day."

So it's no, no, never,
never no more,
Oh, I never will play the wild rover no more.
So I pulled from my pocket three gold sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
"Well the words that I spoke Sir were only in jest
come inside for some whiskey and wines of the best."

So it's no, no, never,
never no more,
Well, I never will play the wild rover no more.
So now I'm returning to Dad and to Mum
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And if they'll have me back as they've done before
Well I never will play the wild rover no more.

So it's no, no, never,
never no more,
Oh, I never will play the wild rover no more.
No, no, never,
never no more,
Oh, I never will play the wild rover no more.
