The Wild Rover

歌詞

I've been a wild rover for many's a year And I've spent all me 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 Chorus 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 alehouse I used to frequent And I told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit. She answered me, Nay Such a custom like yours I culd have any day Chorus Then out of my pockets I took sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She says I have whiskeys and wines of the best And the words that I said were only in jest Chorus I go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I ask them to pardon their prodigal son And if they caress me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more Chorus
