Intro
Verse 1
I've been a wild rover for many a year
I 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, no nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
Verse 2
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"
Chorus
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
Verse 3
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
And the words that I told you were only in jest!"
Chorus
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
Verse 4
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before
I never will play the wild rover no more.
Chorus
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
