I´ve been a wild rover for many´s the year And I´ve spent all my money on whisky and beer. But now I´m returning with money 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, my mony was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me: “nay, Such a custom as your I can have every day”
I then took from my pocket ten sovereings bright And the landlady´s eyes opened wide with deelight She said: “I have whisky and wines of my best” And the words that you told me were only in jest”
I´ll go home to my parents confess what I have done And I´ll ask them to pardon the prodigal son And when they caress me as oft-times before I never will play the wild rover no more.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
