[Verse]
AD
I've been the wild rover for many's the year
AEA
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
AD
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
AEA
And I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
EAD
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
ADEA
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more
[Verse]
AD
I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
AEA
And I told the landlady me money was spent
AD
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay"
AEA
"Such a custom as yours I can have every day"
[Verse]
AD
I then took from me money ten sovereigns bright
AEA
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
AD
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best"
AEA
And the words that you told me were only in jest
[Chorus]
EAD
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
ADEA
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more
EAD
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
ADEDE
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more
[Interlude]

[Verse]
AAD
I'll home to my parents, confess what I'd done
AEA
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
AAD
And when they've caressed me as ofttimes before
AEA
I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
EAD
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
ADEA
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more
E A N.C. D
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
ADEA
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more
ADEA
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more
