The Wild Rover Lyrics - Misc

THE WILD ROVER 

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

and I've spent all my money on whisky 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 into an ale-house I used to frequent 

and 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 more 

will I play the wild rover no never no more. 

Then I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright 

and the lanlady's eyes opened winde with delight; 

she said: "I have whisky and wine of the best 

and the words that you told me were only in jest". 

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more 

will I play the wild rover no never no more. 

I'll go home to my parents confess what i have done 

and 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 more 

will I play the wild rover no never no more.
