Dublin City Ramblers - The Wild Rover lyrics

Sure I've been a wild rover for many's the year I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer But now I'm returning with gold in great store And I never will play the wild rover no more And it's No, Nay, Never, No Nay Never No more Will I play the wild rover, No, Never No more I went into an ale house I used to frequent I told the landlady my money's all spent I asked her for credit; she answered me nay Such a custom like yours I can have any day And it's No, Nay, Never, No Nay Never No more Will I play the wild rover, No, Never No more I then 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 But the words that were spoken were only in jest And it's No, Nay, Never, No Nay Never No more Will I play the wild rover, No, Never No more I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And if they caress me as oft times before I swear I will play that wild rover no more And it's No, Nay, Never, No Nay Never No more Will I play the wild rover, No, Never No more And it's No, Nay, Never, No Nay Never No more Will I play the wild rover, No, Never No more
