Wild Rover
I've ben a wild rover for manys' the year And I've spent all my money
on whiskey and beer But now I'm returning with
gold in great store And I never will play the wild rover no more
And it's no, nay never, No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more.
I went into an ale house 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 can have any day.
And it's no, nay never, No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No never, no more
I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said I have whiskeys and wines of the best And the words that you told me were only in jest.
And it's no, nay never, No, nay, never, no more Will 1 play the wild rover
No never, no more I'll go home to my parents,
confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And when they've caressed me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more.
Happy St Patrick's Day
