I've been a wild rover for many a yearAnd I spent all my money on whiskey and beer,And now I'm returning with gold in great storeAnd 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 roverNo never no more.I went to an ale-house I used to frequentAnd I told the landlady my money was spent.I asked her for credit, she answered me "naySuch a custom as yours I could have any day."And it's no, nay, never,No nay never no more,Will I play the wild roverNo never no more.I took from my pocket ten sovereigns brightAnd the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.She said "I have whiskey and wines of the bestAnd the words that I spoke sure were only in jest."And it's no, nay, never,SongtexteNo nay never no more,Will I play the wild roverNo never no more.I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've doneAnd I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.And if they caress me as ofttimes beforeSure I never will play the wild rover no more.
