Wild Rover Lyrics


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, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No 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"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover

No 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"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No 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, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
And I'll play the wild rover
No never, no more

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Formed in 2006, the band has gone through a few lineup changes, but still remains a hard hitting presence in the Irish music scene in Upstate NY. Steve Ladue’s drums provide the perfect heartbeat to the living thing that is 1916. He has played in several bands over the years and brings his experience to the table as a truly gifted performer. The etherial guitar stylings of Tony Thireos take us from metal to blues in the blink of an eye, but always leave us wanting for more. Just watch your whiskey around this guy!
