And it's no, nay, never! (clap-clap-clap-clap) 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! (clap-clap-clap-clap) 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, nay. Such a custom as yours I could have any day."
And it's no, nay, never! (clap-clap-clap-clap) 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 said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best, And those words that I spoke sure were only in jest."
And it's no, nay, never! (clap-clap-clap-clap) No, nay, never, no more! Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more.
And it's no, nay, never! (clap-clap-clap-clap) No, nay, never, no more! Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more.
I go home to my parents, confessed what I'd done, And I asked them to pardon their prodigal son. And so they caressed me as oft times before, Now I never will play the wild rover no more.
And it's no, nay, never! (clap-clap-clap-clap) No, nay, never, no more! Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more.
And it's no, nay, never! (clap-clap-clap-clap) No, nay, never, no more! Will I play the wild rover No, never, no more.
