I've Gbeen a wild rover, for many's the Cyear
And I've Gspent all me Dmoney on whiskey and Gbeer
But now I'm returning with gold in great Cstore
And I Gnever will Dplay the wild rover no Gmore
[Chorus]
And it's Dno, nay, neverD7
GNo, nay, never, no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Drover
No, GneveDr, nGo more
[Verse 2]
I went Ginto an alehouse, I used to freCquent
And I Gtold the landDlady me money was Gspent
I asked her for credit, she answered my Cnay
Such a Gcustom like Dyours I can get any Gday

GNo, nay, never, no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Drover
No, GneveDr, nGo more

And the Glandlady’s Dface opened up with deGlight
She said I have whiskeys and wines of the Cbest
