lankum – the wild rover lyrics
[verse 1]
i’ve been a wild rover for many’s the year
and i’ve spent all me money drinking strong ale and beer
but now for the future i will take better cue in case that misfortune might come to my share back
[chorus]
wild rover, 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”
“such a custom as yours i could have any day”
[chorus]
wild rover, i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give up
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more
[verse 3]
i put my hand in my pocket for some money to find
and i pulled out the [?] my darling
when she saw [?] the money
and money galore
then she saw i had the money
and she [?] her store
saying “i have the whiskey and wines of the best
all the words i have spoken, they were only in jest”
[chorus]
wild rover, i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give up
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more
[verse 4]
if i had all the money i left in your cairn
it would buy me ten acres and my family rare
it would fetch me a cottage, it would build a barn
it would buy a goat fur to keep my back warm
[chorus]
wild rover, i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give up
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more
[instrumental outro]
