I’ve been a wild rover, for many a year
G D7 GAnd I’ve spend all my money on whiskey and beer
CBut now I’m returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more
D7 G C
And it’s no, ney, never, . . . . . . no, nay, never no more
G C G D7 GI will play the wild rover, no never no more
[End Chorus]
CI brought up from me pocket ten souvereigns bright
G D7 GAnd the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskey and wine’s of the best"
G D7 GAnd the words that you’ve told me were only in jest
Chorus
I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve done
G D7 GAnd I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
CAnd when they’ve caressed me, as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
Chorus
