misc - the wild rover lyrics
the wild rover
i’ve been a wild rover for many’s the year
and i’ve spent all my money on whisky and beer.
but now i’m returning with money 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 ne: “nay,
such a custom as yours i can have ev’ry day”.
and it’s no nay never, no nay never no more
will i play the wild rover no never no more.
then i took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
and the lanlady’s eyes opened winde with delight;
she said: “i have whisky and wine of the best
and the words that you 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 have done
and i’ll ask them to pardon the prodigal son,
and when thes caress 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.
