about

Based on the traditional Irish folk song

lyrics

I've been a wild rover for many a year
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 to an ale house 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 your I could have nay 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 my pockets ten sovereigns bright
and the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
she said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
and the words that I spoke Sir 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've done
and I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
and if they forgive me as oft times 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
