The Wild Rover

G C I've been a wild rover for many's the year G C D G And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer G C But now I'm returning with gold in great store G C D G And I never will be a wild rover no more D G C And it's no nay never, no nay never no more G C D G Will I play the wild rover, no never no more G C I went into an ale-house I used to frequent G C D G And I told the landlady my money's all spent G C I asked her for credit, she answered me 'nay G C D G Such a custom as yours I can have any day D G C And it's no nay never, no nay never no more G C D G Will I play the wild rover, no never no more G C Then I took from my pocket 10 new sovereigns bright G C D G And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight G C She said I have whiskey and wines of the best G C D G And the words that were spoken were only in jest D G C And it's no nay never, no nay never no more G C D G Will I play the wild rover, no never no more G C I'll go home to my par'nts confess what I've done G C D G And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son G C And when they caress me as oft times before G C D G I never will play the wild rover no more D G C And it's no nay never, no nay never no more G C D G Will I play the wild rover, no never no more
