dubliners – wild rover lyrics
i’ve been a wild rover for many a year
and i spent all my 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 to 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 could have any day.”
chorus:
i took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
and the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight.
she said “i have whiskey and wines of the best
and the words that i spoke sure were only in jest.”
chorus:
i’ll go home to my parents, confess what i’ve done
and i’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
and if they caress me as ofttimes before
sure i never will play the wild rover no more.
chorus:
