I've been a wild rover for many a year
G           C         D          G
And I spent al my money on whiskey and beer
C
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
G          C             D        G
And I never will play the wild rover no more


D              G               C
And it's no nay never    no nay never no more
G             C          D        G
Will I play the wild rover   no never no more


I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me: “nay
Such a custum as yours I can have any day"

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said:" I have whiskey and wine of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest"

refrein

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
if they careless forgive me, as often before
I never shall play the wild rover no more
