The Wild Rover

G C I've been a folksinger for bloody eight years G D G And I sing half the night for the fun and free beer C But now that I'm older I know the score G D G And I never will sing 'The Wild Rover' no more D G C And it's no nay never (raise up your kilt), no nay never no more G C D G Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more G C I know it 's a song that pleases the folk G D G But I have to admit that it just makes me *puke* C A night with a tooth-ache is more fun to me G D G Than the singing of one verse, never mind two or three D G C And it's no nay never (lift up your skirt), no nay never no more G C D G Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more G C This song is requested again and again G D G If I'll hear it once more it will drive me insane C The words get so stupid, it just makes me wild G D G And the tune could be learned by a two year old child D G C And it's no nay never(drop down your pants), no nay never no more G C D G Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more G C So I go to a folkclub, I take a shotgun along G D G And I shoot the first bastard who askes for this song C The hangman will say as I fall through the floor: G D G "You never will sing 'The Wild Rover' no more!" D G C And it's no nay never (shit on the floor), no nay never no more G C D G Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more D G C And it's no nay never (raise up your kilt), no nay never no more G C D G Will I play 'The Wild Rover', nay never no more
