CI've been a wild rover for many a Fyear
CAnd I spent all my Fmoney on G7whiskey and Cbeer,
CAnd now I'm returning with gold in great Fstore
And CI never will Fplay the G7wild rover no Cmore.
chorus
G7And it's no, nay, never,
CNo nay never no Fmore,
Will I Cplay the wild Frover
G7No never Cno more.
I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent.
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay
Such a custom as yours I could have any day."
chor
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest.
chor
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And when they caress me as ofttimes before
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more.
