The Wild Rover

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 no, nay, never! No more will I play the wild rover 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 as yours I could have any day I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady`s eyes opened up with delight she said she had whiskeys and wines of the best and the words that she told me were only in jest I went home to my parents, confessed what I`d done and I asked them to pardon their prodigal son and when they`d caressed me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more
