The Wild Rover
I've been a wild rover for many a year
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
Now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I swear that I'll play the wild rover no more
Chorus:
And it no, nay, never
(Clap hands four times)
No, nay, never, No more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
I went into an ale house that I used to frequent
And I told the lady my money was spent
Chorus
And out of my pocket and pulled sovereigns bright
The landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I said were only in jest
I'd go home to my parents confess what I've done
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if their'll caress me as oft times before
Then I swear that I play the wild rover no more
I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
Now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I swear that I'll play the wild rover no more
Chorus:
And it no, nay, never
(Clap hands four times)
No, nay, never, No more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
I went into an ale house that I used to frequent
And I told the lady my money was spent
Chorus
And out of my pocket and pulled sovereigns bright
The landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I said were only in jest
I'd go home to my parents confess what I've done
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if their'll caress me as oft times before
Then I swear that I play the wild rover no more
