The Dubliners — The Wild Rover Live

Verse 1 I've been a wild rover for many's a year I 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 Verse 2 I went into 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 custom as yours I can have any day 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 took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said, "I have whiskey 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 Verse 4 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 caress me as oft times before Then 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
