The Wild Rover Lyrics - Sinead Oconnor

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

I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer 

But 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 in to an alehouse I used to frequent 

And I told the landlady me money was spent 

I asked her for credit, she answered me nay 

Such a customer as you I can have any day 

And it's No, Nay, never, 

No, nay never no more 

Will I play the wild rover, 

No never no more 

I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright 

And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight 

She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best 

And I'll take you upstairs and I'll show you the rest" 

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've done 

And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son 

And, if they'll forgive me as oft times before 

Then 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
