[Verse]
D G
I've been a wild rover for many a year
D G A7 D
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
D G
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
D G A7 D
And I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
A7 D G
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
D G A7 D
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
[Verse]
D G
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
D G A7 D
And I told the landlady me money was spent
D G
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
D G A7 D
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"
[Chorus]
A7 D G
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
D G A7 D
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
[Verse]
D G
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
D G A7 D
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
D G
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
D G A7 D
And the words that I told you were only in jest!"
[Chorus]
A7 D G
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
D G A7 D
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
[Verse]
D G
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
D G A7 D
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
D G
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before
D G A7 D
I never will play the wild rover no more.
[Chorus]
A7 D G
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
D G A7 D
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
A7 D G
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
D G A7 D
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
