Lyrics Wild Rover - The Dubliners
I've
been
a
wild
rover
for
many
a
year
And
I
spent
all
my
money
on
whiskey
and
beer,
And
now
I'm
returning
with
gold
in
great
store
And
I
never
will
play
the
wild
rover
no
more.
Chorus:
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
frequent
And
I
told
the
landlady
my
money
was
spent.
I
asked
her
for
credit,
she
answered
me
"nay
Such
a
custom
as
yours
I
could
have
any
day."
Chorus
I
took
from
my
pocket
ten
sovereigns
bright
And
the
landlady's
eyes
opened
wide
with
delight.
She
said
"I
have
whiskey
and
wines
of
the
best
And
the
words
that
I
spoke
sure
were
only
in
jest."
Chorus
I'll
go
home
to
my
parents,
confess
what
I've
done
And
I'll
ask
them
to
pardon
their
prodigal
son.
And
if
they
caress
me
as
ofttimes
before
Sure
I
never
will
play
the
wild
rover
no
more.
