Wild Rover (No, Nay, Never)

[Verse]

F Bb
I've been a wild rover for many a year
F Bb C7 F
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
F Bb
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
F Bb C7 F
And I never will play the wild rover no more


[Chorus]

C7 F Bb
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
F Bb C7 F
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more


[Verse]

F Bb
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
F Bb C7 F
And I told the landlady me money was spent
F Bb
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
F Bb C7 F
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"


[Chorus]

C7 F Bb
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
F Bb C7 F
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more


[Verse]

F Bb
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
F Bb C7 F
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
F Bb
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
F Bb C7 F
And the words that I told you were only in jest!"


[Chorus]

C7 F Bb
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
F Bb C7 F
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more


[Verse]

F Bb
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
F Bb C7 F
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
F Bb
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before
F Bb C7 F
I never will play the wild rover no more.


[Chorus]

C7 F Bb
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
F Bb C7 F
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
C7 F Bb
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
F Bb C7 F
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
