Lyrics - The Wild Rover by Misc

THE
WILD
ROVERI've been a wild rover for many's the yearand
I've spent all my money on whisky and beer.
But now
I'm returning with money in great storeand
I never will play the wild rover no more.
And it's no nay never, no nay never no morewill
I play the wild rover no never no more.
I went into an ale-house
I used to frequentand
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 morewill
I play the wild rover no never no more.
Then
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns brightand the lanlady's eyes opened winde with delight;she said: "
I have whisky and wine of the bestand the words that you told me were only in jest".
And it's no nay never, no nay never no morewill
I play the wild rover no never no more.
I'll go home to my parents confess what i have doneand
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 morewill
I play the wild rover no never no more.
