I've been a wild rover for many's the year.
And I spent all me money on wiskey and beer.
But Now I'm returning with gold and great store.
And I never will 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 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 a costumers yours
I could have any day
And its no nay never
No nay never no more
Will i play the wild rover
No never no more
