Wild Rover The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem

I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I 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 ale-house 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 as 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

And out of me pocket I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I said sure 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
