Lyrics

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I've spent all my money on whisky and beer
But now I'm returning with money in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no nay never, (right up his kilt!)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover no never no more

I went into an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she ordered me out
Such a custom as yours I can sure live without

Then out of my pocket I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight;
She said: "i have whisky and wine of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest"

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