Wild Rover (no Nay Never) lyrics

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 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 to an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent.
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 no more.
I 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
And the words that I spoke sure 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 (forgive) me as ofttimes before
Sure 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.
