I`ve been a wild rover for many`s the year
and I`ve spent all my 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
Chorus:
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 me nay,
Such `a custom like yours I can have any day
Chorus
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
and the landlady`s eyes opened wide with delight.
She said I`d have whiskey and wines of the best
and the words that she told me were only in jest.
Chorus
I`ll go home to my parents, confess what I`ve done,
and I`ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And when they`ve caressed me as oft` times before
then I never will play the wild rover no more
