lankum - the wild rover (edit) lyrics
Loading...
[verse 1]
i’ve been a wild rover for many’s a year
and i’ve spent half me money drinking strong ale and beer
[chorus]
wild rovin’ i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give up
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more
[verse 2]
i went into an alehouse i used to resort
and i told the landlady that my money was short
when she heard of my story, oh her answer twas “nay”
sayin’ “custom such as yours i could have any day”
[chorus]
wild rovin’ i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give up
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more
[bridge]
if i had half the money i left in your cairn
it would buy me a goat fur to keep my back warm
[chorus]
wild rovin’ i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give up
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more
