Lyrics of The wild rover

The wild rover
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, 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 answered ne: "nay,
Such a custom as yours i can have ev'ry day".
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will i play the wild rover no never no more.
Then i took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the lanlady's eyes opened winde with delight;
She said: "i have whisky and wine of the best
And the words that you told me 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 have done
And i'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son,
And when thes caress 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
Will i play the wild rover no never no more.
