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
