I've been a wild rover for many's the year And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer But now I'm returning with money in great store And I never will play the wild rover no more. Chorus: And it's no, nay, never (ride up his kilt!) 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 And I told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit - She ordered me out "Such a custom as yours I can sure live without". (Chorus) Then out of my pocket I took sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said, "I have whiskey and wines of the best And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest". (Chorus) I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done And they'll open their arms to their prodigal son And when they've embraced me as oft-times before I never will play the wild rover no more. (Chorus)
