I've been a wild rover for many the year
And I spent all my 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 never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my 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 never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landladiy's eyes opened wide with delight
She said 'I have whiskey and wines of the best,
And the words that I spoke sure were only a jest'.

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

I'll go home to my parent, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And if they caress me as oft times before,
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more.

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