The Wild Rover

I've been a wild rover for many's the year and I've 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 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 alehouse I used to frequent I told the landlady my money was spent I ask her for credit, she answered 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 brought from me pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight she said:'I have whiskeys and wines 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've done and I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son and when they've caressed 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 And it's no, nay, never no, nay never no more will I play the wild rover no never no more
