I've been a Wild Rover for many's the year
Spent all me money on whiskey and beer
Now I'm returning to in great store
Never to play The Wild Rover no more

"And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play The Wild Rover
No never no more"

I went to an Ale House I used to fequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit she answered me "Back out boy !"
Custom as your I can have any day

"And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play The Wild Rover
No never no more"

I took from me pocket 10 Sovereigns Bright
And the landlady's legs opened wide with delight
She said I have wiskey and wines of the best-best-BEST !
And the words that I spoke were only in Jest

"And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play The Wild Rover
No never no more"

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son
And when they've embrassed me as oft times before
Never I'll play The Wild Rover no more !

"And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play The Wild Rover
No never no more
And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play The Wild Rover
No never no more"
