You're the One for Me

I've been a wild rover for many a year

And I 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 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 my money was spent

I asked her for credit she answered me nay

Such a custom as 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

I took lost me pocket ten 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 spoken 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 prodigal son

And if they forgive me as ofttimes before

Sure 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
