We're going to sing another song, [C#] a song which has become very popular in folk circles,
both in Scotland and elsewhere.
It's called the Wild Rover.
Do you know it?
[G]
Do [N] you know the verses as well?
[G] You can sing the verses and the chorus.
[Gm] [G] That's grand.
Because the more you sing, if you sing the verse, [N] the verses as well as the chorus,
you see it's money for old rope as far as we're [G] concerned, you know.
We just stand up here and
play guitars.
It's a grand song to sing [N] while you're still fighting for the armrests, you know.
Yeah, see them?
Look at them.
Same happens to me, you know, you walk into a hall
and you queue up early and you walk in, you find the best seat you can, way down the front,
straight away, you know.
Both of them are mine.
And somebody comes in and you've lost one.
You wait till he reaches for his fags, you know, you're back [G] in there.
So you're still sorting
yourselves out that way.
You can sing this one for us.
Wild Rover.
I've been a wild rover for many [C] years
[G] And I spent [D] all me money on the [G] ski and beer
But now I'm returning with [C] gold in great store
[G] And I swear [D] I won't play the wild [G] rover no more
[D] And it's no day never, [G] no day [C]
[G] ever will I be [C] the wild rover [G]
no more
I went down to a nail house that I [C] used to frequent
And I [D] told the landlady me money [G] was spent
I asked her for credit but she [C] answered me nay
[G] Same custom like the currys I can get any day
[D] And it's no day never, [G] no day ever [C]
[G] will I be [C] the wild rover no [G]
never
You're doing beautiful, I tell you.
I think you're the best audience that we've had tonight.
But it seems it's just the girls that are singing out there.
By that we've got some bloody queer men in the audience.
Right, so, men only for the next verse and chorus.
So I pulled from me pocket a handful [C] of gold
[G] And upon the [D] round table had [G] glittered a rose
She said, we have whiskey and beer [C] of the best
[G] What I [D] told you before was [G] only in jest
[D] And it's no day never, [G] no day ever [C] [G]
[C] [G]
will I be the wild rover no never
Lovely.
Could you do better than that, girls, could you?
Could you do better than that, girls, could you?
That was crazy, wasn't it?
Yeah.
I'll go back to my parents, confess [C] what I've done
[G] I'll go for the [Am] mile, I'll do the favor, give me a [C] soft, tidy bow
[G] Well, I swear [D] I won't hide, I'll go [G] by the pump
And it's [D] no day never, [G] no day [C] ever will
[G] [C] [G]
[D] I be the wild rover no never
And it's no day never
