The Wild Rover

The Wild Rover - The Blarney Lads,The Royal Irish Rangers

I've been a wild rover for many a year

And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer

And 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 ale house 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 like yours I could have any day

And it's no nay never

No nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

Well out of me pocket I take 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 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 my parents confess what I've done

And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son

And if they forgive me as ofttimes before

But 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

One last time

And it's no nay never

No nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more
