I've been a wild rover for many a year
G C D7 GI spent all me money on whiskey and beer
G CBut 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 in to an alehouse I used to frequent
G C D7 GAnd I told the landlady me money was spent
G CI asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"
G C
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
G C D7 GAnd the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
G C D7 GAnd the words that I told you were only in jest!"
chorus
G C
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
G CAnd when they've caressed me as oftimes before
G C D7 GI never will play the wild rover no more.
chorus (x2)
