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.
And 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 to 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 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.

I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
and the landlady's eyes opened up with delight.
She said she had whiskeys and wines of the best
and the words that she 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'd caressed me as oft times before
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.
