Lyrics

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I've spent all me 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

Chorus:
And it's no, nay, never! (clap-clap-clap-clap)
No, nay, never, no more! (clap-clap)
Will I play the wild rover (clap)
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 like yours I could have any day"

(Chorus)

I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says, "i have whiskeys and wines of the best
And those words that you told me were only in jest."

(Chorus)

I go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more

(Chorus)
