The Wild Rover

Key <G>

I've been a wild rover for manys a year

And I spent all my money on whisky and beer

Now I'm returning with gold by great store

And I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no nee never no nee never no more

I will play the wild rover no never no more

I went into an alehouse I used to frequent

I told the landlady my money was spent

I asked her for credit she answered me nay

Such custom as yours I can have anyday

Then out of my pocket I drew sovereign bright

And the landlady's eyes drew wide with delight

She say I've got whisky's and wines of the best 

And the word that I spoke they were only in jest

I'll go back to my parents confess what I've done

I'll ask them to pardon there prodigal son   

If they caress me as often as before

I never be called the wild rover no more
