{t: The Wild Rover}
|
|
|
|
[G]I've been a wild rover for [G7]many a [C]year
|
|
I [G]spent all me [D]money on whiskey and [G]beer
|
|
But now I'm returning with [G7]gold in great [C]store
|
|
And I [G]never will [D]play the wild rover no [G]more
|
|
|
|
{soc}
|
|
And it's [D]no nay never, [G]no nay [G7]never no [C]more
|
|
Will I [G]play the wild [C]rover, no [D]never, no [G]more.
|

|
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
|
|
And I told the landlady me money was spent
|
|
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
|
|
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"
|
|
|
|
{chorus}
|
|
|
|
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
|
|
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
|
|
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
|
|
And the words that I told you were only in jest!"
|
|
|
|
{chorus}
|
|
|
|
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
|
|
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
|
|
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before
|
|
I never will play the wild rover no more.
