G C I've been a wild rover for many's the year G D G I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer C But now I'm returning with gold in great store G D G And I never will play the wild rover no more D And it's No, Nay, never, G C No, nay, never no more G C Will I play the wild rover, G D G No never no more G C I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent G D G And I told the landlady me money was spent C I asked her for credit, she answered me nay G D G Such a customer as you I can have any day D And it's No, Nay, never, G C No, nay, never no more G C Will I play the wild rover, G D G No never no more G C I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright G D G And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight C She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best G D G And the words that you told me were only in jest" D And it's No, Nay, never, G C No, nay, never no more G C Will I play the wild rover, G D G No never no more G C I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done G D G And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son C And, when they've caressed me as oft times before G D G I never will play the wild rover no more D And it's No, Nay, never, G C No, nay, never no more G C Will I play the wild rover, G D G No never no more Set8
