The Dubliners — The Wild Rover

[Lyrics of “ The Wild Rover”] [Verse 1] I've been a wild rover for manys a year And I 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 [Chorus] And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more [Verse 2] I went to 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 as yours I could have everyday." [Chorus] And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more [Verse 3] I then took 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 the words that you told me were only in jest." [Chorus] 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 when they've caressed me as ofttimes before 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 And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more
