Wild Rover

I've been a wild rover for many a year

And I've spent all my 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 no nay never

No no no no no never no more

And never never never shall play

So I never no more

I went to an alehouse I used to frequent

And I told the landlady my money was spent

I asked her for credit she answered me Nay

Saying Custom like yours I can have any day

So it's no never no more

No no no no no never no more

And never never never shall play

So I never no more

I took from my 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 I told you were only in jest

But it's no no never no more

No no no no no never no more

And never never never shall play

So I 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 have kissed me as oft times before

I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no no nay never

No no no no no never no more

And never never never shall play

So I never no more
