I’ve been the wild rover for many a year
spent all my money on whiskey and beer
but now I’m returning with gold in restore
never I’ll play the wild rover no more.

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
And it’s no nay never
no nay never no more
will I play the wild rover
nonever no more

{eoc}

I went to a chanty I used to frequent
Told the landlady my money was spent
I asked for her credit she answered me nay
saying: customers like you I can get any day.

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
And it’s no nay never
no nay never no more
will I play the wild rover
nonever no more

{eoc}

I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
The landlady’s eyes opened wide in delight
saying: I have the whiskey and wine of the best
and the words that I told you were only in jest.

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
And it’s no nay never
no nay never no more
will I play the wild rover
nonever no more

{eoc}

I’ll go home to my parents confess what I’ve done
and ask them to pardon their prodigal son
and if they do as so often before
then I never Shall play the wild rover no more.

{c:Chorus}
{soc}
And it’s no nay never
no nay never no more
will I play the wild rover
nonever no more

{eoc}
