Wild Rover Well, I've been a wild rover for many a 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. CHORUS: And it's no-nay-never. ("Right up your kilt!") No-nay-never, no more. ("Up yours!") Will I play the wild rover? ("Guiness!") 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 as yours I could have any day. CHORUS I pulled from my pocket ten sovereigns bright, And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight. She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best. And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest." CHORUS I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done, And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son. And if they forgive me as oft times before, Sure I never will play the wild rover no more. CHORUS x 2
