Ireland's Finest - Wild Rover lyrics

Well, I've been a wild rover for many a year And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer And now I'm returning with the 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 nay no more Well, I went to an ale-house I used to frequent And I told the landlady my money was spent Well, I asked her for credit, she answered me NAY! "Such a custom as yours I could have any day." And it's no, nay, never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never nay no more I took out from my pockets ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said "I have the whiskey and wines of the best And the words I just told you were only in jest." And it's no, nay, never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never nay no more (Here we go!) And it's no, nay, never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never nay no more I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son Oh, And if they caress me as ofttimes before 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 nay no more (One last time!) And it's no, nay, never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never nay no more
