The Dubliners - The Wild Rover

The Wild Rover

Original songwriter: Trad

I've been a wild rover for many's the 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 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 custom as yours

I can have everyday

And it's no nay never no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover no never no more

And I took from the pocket ten sovereigns bright

And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight

She said I'd have whiskey and wines of the best

And the words that she told me 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 when they've caressed me as oft' times before

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
