I've been a Wild Rover for many's the yea And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer But now I'm returning with gold in great store And I promise to play The Wild Rover no more REFRAIN And it's no nay never No nay never no more Will I play The Wild Rover No never no more I went to an Ale House I used to fequent And I told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit she answered me nay Such custom as your I can have any day
REFRAIN I took from me pocket 10 Sovereigns Bright And the landlady's legs opened wide with delight She said iI have wiskey and wines of the best And the words that I spoke were only in Jest REFRAIN I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son And when they've embra**ed me as oft times before I promise to play The Wild Rover no more REFRAIN REFRAIN...
