The Wild Rover Lyrics - Sing Loud, Sing Proud - Dropkick Murphys

I've been a wild rover for many's the year 

And I spend 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 alehouse I used to frequent 

And I told my landlady my money was spent 

I asked her for credit she answered me nay 

Such a custom as yours I could have any day 

And it's no, nay, never 

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright 

And the landlady's eyes opened up with delight 

She said she had whiskeys and wines of the best 

And the words that she tolt me were only in jest 

And it's no, nay, never 

I went home to my parents confest what I'd done 

And I asked them to pardon their prodigal son 

And when they'd caressed me as oft times before 

I never will play the wild rover no more 

And it's no, nay, never
