歌詞
[Verse 1]
I've been a wild rover for many's 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 a wild rover no more
[Chorus]
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play a 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
Sayin', "A customer like yours I can have any day"
[Chorus]
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play a wild rover
No, never, no more
[Verse 3]
Well, out of me pocket, I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said, "I have whiskeys and ales of the best
And the words that I spoke, they were only in jest"
[Chorus]
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play a wild rover
No, never, no more
[Verse 4]
I'll go home to me parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they'll forgive me as oft time before
Well, I never will play a wild rover no more
[Outro]
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play a wild rover
No, never, no more, one last time
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play a wild rover
No, never, no more
