| Lyrics |
THE WILD ROVERI've been a wild rover for many's the yearand I've spent all my money on whisky and beer.
But now I'm returning with money in great storeand I never will play the wild rover no more.
And it's no nay never, no nay never no morewill I play the wild rover no never no more.I went into an ale-house I used to frequentand I told the landlady my money was spent.I asked her for credit, She answered ne: "
Nay,
Such a custom as yours I can have ev'ry day".
And it's no nay never, no nay never no morewill I play the wild rover no never no more.
Then I took from my pocket ten sovereigns brightand the lanlady's eyes opened winde with delight;she said: "I have whisky and wine of the bestand the words that you told me were only in jest".
And it's no nay never, no nay never no morewill I play the wild rover no never no more.I'll go home to my parents confess what i have doneand I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son,and when thes caress me as oft-times before,I never will play the wild rover no more.
And it's no nay never, no nay never no morewill I play the wild rover no never no more.
