Verse 1
I've been a wild rover, for many's the year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more
Chorus
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
Verse 2
I went to an ale house, I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered my nay
Such a custom as yours I can get any day
Chorus
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
Verse 3
I brought from my pocket, ten souvereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that I told you were only in jest
Chorus
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
Verse 3
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask that the pardon their prodigal son
And if the caress me, as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
Chorus
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
