Alex Campbell - The wild rover

I've been a wild rover for many a ^Fyear I've ^Cspent all me ^Gmoney on whiskey and ^Cbeer I'll give up my roving with my money in ^Fstore And I ^Cnever will ^Gplay the wild rover no ^Cmore

And it's ^Gno, nay, never ^CNo, nay, never, no ^Fmore Will I ^Cplay the wild ^Frover No, ^Gnever, no ^Cmore

I went into an ale-house I used to fre^Fquent And I ^Ctold the land^Glady me money was ^Cspent I called for a pint and she says to me, "^FNay Such ^Ccustom as ^Gyours I can have any ^Cday"

And it's ^Gno, nay, never ^CNo, nay, never, no ^Fmore Will I ^Cplay the wild ^Frover No, ^Gnever, no ^Cmore

Put me hand in me pocket, where was all me ^Fgold And ^Con the round ^Gtable it glittered and ^Crolled "Now here's my best brandy and whiskey and ^Fall" "Be^Cgone old land^Glady, I'll have nothing at ^Call"

And it's ^Gno, nay, never ^CNo, nay, never, no ^Fmore Will I ^Cplay the wild ^Frover No, ^Gnever, no ^Cmore

I'll go home to me parents, confess what I've ^Fdone And ^Cask them to ^Gpardon their prodigal ^Cson And if they forgive me, which they've done times be^Ffore I ^Cnever will ^Gplay the wild rover no ^Cmore

And it's ^Gno, nay, never ^CNo, nay, never, no ^Fmore Will I ^Cplay the wild ^Frover No, ^Gnever, no ^Cmore
