The Wild Rover

No, nay, never No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more I've been the wild rover For many a year And I've spent all my money On whiskey and beer But now I'm returning With gold and 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 alehouse I used to frequent And I told the landlady My money was spent I asked her for credit She answerded me: "Nay! Such a custom as yours I can have any day!" And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more I took from my pocket Ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes Opened wide with delight She said I'd have whiskeys And wines of the best And the words that I spoke Sure 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 me parents Confess what I've done And I'll ask them To pardon their bother full son And if they caress me As oft' times before Then 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 And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more
