The Wild Rover

D                                
I've been a wild rover for so many a
G
 year,
        D           G       
and I've spent all my money in 
A          D
whiskey and beer,
D                                 
but now I'm returning with gold in
  G
 great store
     D        G            A
and I will never play the wild 
        D
rover, no more...

Chorus:
        A                  D
And it's no, nay, never!!!
                 G
No, nay, never, no more,

      D            G
will I play the wild rover!
   A        D
No, never, no more!

I went into 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 customer like you I can have 
any day"...

Chorus

I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns
 bright
and the landlady's eyes opened wide 
with delight,
she said "You'll have whiskeys and 
wines of the best
and the words that I told you were 
only in jest"...

Chorus

I'll go home to my parents and 
confess what I've done
and I'll ask them to pardon their 
prodigal son
and when they forgive me, as of 
times before,
sure, I will never play the wild 
rover no more...
