Foster feat. Allen - Emeralds & Evergreens

The Wild Rover

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But 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 the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay"
"Such a custom as yours I can have every day"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never no more
I took from me 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 spoke then 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 my parents, confess what I'd done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they've caressed 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
