[Verse]
A D
I've been a wild rover for many a year
A D E7 A
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
A D
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
A D E7 A
And I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
E7 A D
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
A D E7 A
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
[Verse]
A D
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
A D E7 A
And I told the landlady me money was spent
A D
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
A D E7 A
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"
[Chorus]
E7 A D
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
A D E7 A
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
[Verse]
A D
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
A D E7 A
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
A D
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
A D E7 A
And the words that I told you were only in jest!"
[Chorus]
E7 A D
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
A D E7 A
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
[Verse]
A D
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
A D E7 A
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
A D
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before
A D E7 A
I never will play the wild rover no more.
[Chorus]
E7 A D
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
A D E7 A
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
E7 A D
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
A D E7 A
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
