[Verse 1]
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I swear I will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
[Verse 2]
I went in to an alehouse that I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, but she answered me nay
Such a customer as yours, I can get any day
[Chorus]
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
[Verse 3]
And I took from my pocket, a handful of gold
And on the roundtable it glittered and rolled
Well the landlady smiled as she served me the best
"What I told you before, sure it was only in jest"
