[Verse 1]
     G                            
I've been a wild rover for many a 
C
year
  G            C        D7       
I spent all me money on whiskey 
   G
and beer
    G                              
But now I'm returning with gold in 
      C
great store
      G          C             D7
And I never will play the wild 
       G
rover no more


[Chorus]
         D7           G           
And it's no nay never, no nay 
     C
never no more
       G             C       
Will I play the wild rover, no 
  D7        G
never, no more

[Verse 2]
  G                                
I went in to an alehouse I used to 
   C
frequent
      G            C       D7    
And I told the landlady me money 
    G
was spent
  G                                
I asked her for credit, she 
      C
answered me "Nay!"
      G         C             D7 
"Such custom as yours I could 
      G
have any day!"


[Chorus]
          D7           G          
 And it's no nay never, no nay 
      C
never no more
        G             C         
 Will I play the wild rover, no 
D7        G
never, no more


[Verse 3]
  G                        
I took out of me pocket ten 
            C
sovereigns bright
        G          C           D7
And the landlady's eyes opened 
          G
wide with delight
    G                              
She said: "I have whiskeys and 
         C
wines on the best!
        G            C             
And the words that I told you were 
D7      G
only in jest!"


[Chorus]
         D7           G           
And it's no nay never, no nay 
     C
never no more
       G             C       
Will I play the wild rover, no 
  D7        G
never, no more


[Verse 4]
        G                          
I'll go home to my parents, confess
           C
 what I've done
    G           C          
And ask them to pardon their 
  D7       G
prodigal son
    G                          
And when they've caressed me as 
           C
oftimes before
  G          C             D7    
I never will play the wild rover 
   G
no more.


[Chorus]
         D7           G           
And it's no nay never, no nay 
     C
never no more
       G             C       
Will I play the wild rover, no 
  D7        G
never, no more
       D7           G             
And it's no nay never, no nay 
   C
never no more
       G             C       
Will I play the wild rover, no 
  D7        G
never, no more
