Misc - The Wild Rover lyrics
rate meTHE WILD ROVER<br />
I've been a wild rover for many's the year<br />
And I've spent all my money on whisky and beer.<br />
But now I'm returning with money in great store<br />
And I never will play the wild rover no more.<br />
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more<br />
Will I play the wild rover no never no more.<br />
I went into an ale-house I used to frequent<br />
And I told the landlady my money was spent.<br />
I asked her for credit, She answered ne: "Nay,<br />
Such a custom as yours I can have ev'ry day".<br />
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more<br />
Will I play the wild rover no never no more.<br />
Then I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright<br />
And the lanlady's eyes opened winde with delight;<br />
She said: "I have whisky and wine of the best<br />
And the words that you told me were only in jest".<br />
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more<br />
Will I play the wild rover no never no more.<br />
I'll go home to my parents confess what i have done<br />
And I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son,<br />
And when thes caress me as oft-times before,<br />
I never will play the wild rover no more.<br />
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more<br />
Will I play the wild rover no never no more.
