THE WILD ROVER - THE DUBLINERS
I've Gbeen a wild rover for many a Cyear
I Gspent all me Cmoney on Dwhiskey andG beer
But Gnow I'm returning with gold in great Cstore
And GI never will Cplay the Dwild rover no Gmore
[Chorus]
And it's Dno nay never, Gno nay never no mCore
Will I Gplay the wild Emrover, no nDever, no Gmore
I went Gin to an alehouse I used to freqCuent
And I Gtold the landClady me Dmoney was Gspent
I Gasked her for credit, she answered me "CNay!"
"Such Gcustom as Cyours I could Dhave every Gday!"
[Chorus]
And it's Dno nay never, Gno nay never no mCore
Will I Gplay the wild Emrover, no nDever, no Gmore
I Gtook from me pocket ten sovereigns bCright
And the Glandlady's Ceyes opened Dwide with deGlight
She Gsaid: "I have whiskeys and wines of the Cbest!
And the Gwords that I Ctold you were Donly in Gjest!"
[Chorus]
And it's Dno nay never, Gno nay never no mCore
Will I Gplay the wild Emrover, no nDever, no Gmore
I'll go Ghome to my parents, confess what I've Cdone
And Gask them to Cpardon their Dprodigal Gson
And Gwhen they've caressed me as oft times bCefore
I Gnever will Cplay the wild Drover no Gmore.
[Chorus]
And it's Dno nay never, Gno nay never no mCore
Will I Gplay the wild Emrover, no nDever, no Gmore
And it's Dno nay never, Gno nay never no mCore
Will I Gplay the wild Emrover, no nDever, no Gmore
