I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will p,at 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 where I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked for a bottle, she answered me “Nay,
Such a custom as yours I can get any day.”

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

Then out of my pocket I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
She said, “I have whisky and wines of the best,
And the words that I said, sure, we're only in jest.”

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

I'll go back to my parents, confess what I've done,
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they'll caress me as oft-times before
Then 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.
