Lyrics The Wild Rover - Rolf Harris

Now I've been a wild rover for many a year,
And I've spent all me money on whiskey 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!

I went to a joint that I used to frequent,
And I told the land lady 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!
Oh I never will play the wild rover no more!

So I pulled from my pocket 3 gold sovereigns bright,
And the land lady's eyes opened wide with delight!
"Well the words that I spoke sir were only in jest,
Come inside for some whiskey and wines 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 welcome 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!
