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
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [D] _ [E] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
