I've been a wild rover for [C] many's a year,
[G] And I spent all [D] me money on whiskey [G] and beer.
But now I'm returning with gold [C] in great store,
[G] And I never [D] will play a wild rover no more,
And [D] it's no, nay, never, [Em]
[G] no, nay, never, [C] no more,
[G] Will I play a [C] wild rover,
[D] no, never, [G] no more.
I went into an alehouse I used to [C] frequent,
And [G] I told the [D] landlady me money [G] was spent.
I asked her for credit, she answered [C] me nay,
[G] In a custom [D] like yours I can have [G] any day,
[D] And it's no, nay, never, [Em] [G]
no, nay, never, [C] no more,
[G] Will I play a [C] wild rover, [D] no, never, [G] no more.
Well, out of me pocket I took [C] Sovereign's Bride,
[G] And the [D]
landlady's eyes opened wide [G] with delight.
She said, I have whiskies and ales [C] of the best,
[G] And the words [D] that I spoke they were only [G]
in jest.
[D] And it's no, nay, never,
[Em] [G] no, nay, never, [C] no more,
[G] Will I play a [C] wild rover, [D] no, never, [G] no more.
I'll go home to me parents, confess [C] what I've done,
[G] And I'll ask [D] them to pardon their bloody [G] gilson,
And if they'll forgive me as of time [C]
before,
[G] Well, I never [D] will play a wild rover [G] no more,
[D] And it's no, nay, never, [Em] [G]
no, nay, never, [C] no more,
[G] Will I play a [C] wild rover, [D] no, never, [G] no more.
One last time, [D] and it's no, nay, never, [Em] [G]
no, nay, never,
[C] No more will [G] I play a [C] wild rover, [D] no, never, no more.
[G]
