The Wild Rover Lyrics

And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more
I've been a wild rover for many's the year And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer But now I'm returning with gold in 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 into 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 custom like yours I could have any day"
And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more
I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She says, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-wild-rover-lyrics-dropkick-murphys.html ] And the words that you told me were only in jest"
And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, 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 home to my parents, confessed what I'd done And I asked them to pardon their prodigal son And when they caressed me as oft times before Now 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
And it's no, nay, never No, nay, never, no more Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more
