D G
I've been a wild rover for so many a year,
D G A D
and I've spent all my money in whiskey and beer,
D G
but now I'm returning with gold in great store
D G A D
and I will never play the wild rover, no more...
Chorus:
A D
And it's no, nay, never!!!
G
No, nay, never, no more,
D G
will I play the wild rover!
A D
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 me "Nay,
such a customer like you I can have any day"...
Chorus
I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
and the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight,
she said "You'll have whiskeys and wines of the best
and the words that I told you were only in jest"...
Chorus
I'll go home to my parents and confess what I've done
and I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
and when they forgive me, as of times before,
sure, I will never play the wild rover no more...
