Now I've been a
Wild
Rover for many a year
And I spent all me money
on whisky and beer
But now I'm returning
with gold in full store
And I never will play the
Wild
Rover no more
So it's no, no never, never no more
Oh, I never will play the
Wild
Rover no more
Well, I went to a joint that I used to frequent
And I told the landlady
my money was spent
I asked her for credit,
she answered me, nay
A customer like you I could find any day
So it's no, no, never, never, no more
I never will play the
Wild
Rover no more
So I pulled from my pock
et three gold
Sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes
opened wide with delight
Well, the words that I spoke,
sir, were only in jest
Come inside for some whisky
and wine's of the best
So it's no, no, never, never no more
Well, I never will play the
Wild
Rover no more
So now I'm returning to
Dad and to
Mum
And I'll ask them to wel
come their prodigal son
And if they'll have me back
as they've done before
Well, I never will play the
Wild
Rover no more
So it's no, no, never, never no more
Oh, I never will play the
Wild
Rover no more
No, no, never, never no more
Oh, I never will play the
Wild
Rover no more
you
