T.R. - The Wild Rover lyrics

I've been a wild rover for many a year And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer But now I'm returning with gold in great store And never I'll play the wild rover no more I went to a shanty I used to frequent And told the landlady me money were spent I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay" Saying, "Customers like you I can get any day" And it's no nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright The landlady's eyes opened wide with delight Saying, "I have the whiskey and wine of the best And the words that I 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 no more I'll go home to my parents, tell them what I've done And hope they will pardon their prodigal son And if they will do as so often before No never I'll 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 And it's no nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more
