[Verse 1]
I've Gbeen a wild rover for many a Cyear
I Gspent all me Cmoney on D7whiskey and Gbeer
But Gnow I'm returning with gold in great Cstore
And I Gnever will Cplay the wild D7rover no Gmore
[Chorus]
And it's D7no nay never,G no nay never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover, no D7never, no Gmore
[Verse 2]
I Gwent in to an alehouse I used to freCquent
And I Gtold the landClady me D7money was Gspent
I Gasked her for credit, she answered me "CNay!"
"Such Gcustom as Cyours I could D7have any Gday!"
[Chorus]
And it's D7no nay never,G no nay never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover, no D7never, no Gmore
[Verse 3]
I Gtook out of me pocket ten sovereigns Cbright
And the Glandlady's Ceyes opened D7wide with deGlight
She Gsaid: "I have whiskeys and wines on the Cbest!
And the Gwords that I Ctold you were D7only in Gjest!"
[Chorus]
And it's D7no nay never,G no nay never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover, no D7never, no Gmore
[Verse 4]
I'll go Ghome to my parents, confess what I've Cdone
And Gask them to Cpardon their D7prodigal Gson
And Gwhen they've caressed me as oftimes beCfore
I Gnever will Cplay the wild D7rover no Gmore.
[Chorus]
And it's D7no nay never,G no nay never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover, no D7never, no Gmore
And it'D7s no nay neveGr, no nay never nCo more
Will I Gplay the wild Crover, no D7never, no Gmore
