Wim Leys - Cantus Song lyrics
rate meIo vivat io vivat
Nostrorum sanitas
Hoc est amoris poculum
Doloris est antidotum
Io vivat io vivat
Nostrorum sanitas
I've been a Wild Rover for many a year
And I've spent all my 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 alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay"
Such a custom as yours I can have every day
And it's no, nay, never
No nay never no more
Will I play the Wild Rover
No never, no more.
In Dublin's fair city
Where girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone
As she wheel'd her wheel barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying, "Cockles and Mussels alive, alive oh!
Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh! Alive, alive oh!
Crying Cockles and Mussels alive, alive oh!
She was a fishmonger, and sure 't was no wonder
Fo so were her father and mother before;
And they each wheel'd their barrow
Trough streets broad and narrow,
What shall we do with the drunken sailor
early in the morning
Hooray up he rises
early in the morning
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Early in the morning
