The Wild Rover

I've been a Wild Rover for many's the Year

And I spend 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 into an alehouse I used to frequent

And I told my 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.....

I took from my pocket ten Sovereigns bright

And the Landlady's eyes opened up with delight

She said she had Whiskeys and Wines of the best

And the words that She tolt me were only in jest

And it's no,nay,never.....

I went home to my Parents confest what I'd done

And I asked them to pardon their prodigal son

And when they'd caressed me as oft times before

I never will play the Wild Rover no more

And it's no,nay,never.....
