=============================
I've been a wild rov-er
for man-y's the year
And I've spent all me mon-ey
on whis-key and beer
But now I'm re-tur-ning
with gold in great store
And I nev-er will play
the wild rov-er no more
And it's no, nay, nev-er,
No, nay nev-er no more
Will I play the wild rov-er,
No nev-er no more
I went in to an ale-house
I used to fre-quent
And I told the land-la-dy
me mon-ey was spent
I asked her for cred-it,
she an-swered me nay
Such a cus-tom as
you I can have an-y day
And it's no, nay, nev-er,
No, nay nev-er no more
Will I play the wild rov-er,
No nev-er no more
I took up from my pock-et
ten sov-ereigns bright
And the land-la-dy's eyes
op-ened wide with de-light
She says "I have whisk-eys
and wines of the best
And the words that you
told me were on-ly in jest"
And it's no, nay, nev-er,
No, nay nev-er no more
Will I play the wild rov-er,
No nev-er no more
I'll go home to my par-ents,
con-fess what I've done
And I'll ask them to par-don
their prod-i-gal son
And when they've car-essed me
as oft times be-fore
I nev-er will play the
wild rov-er no more
And it's no, nay, nev-er,
No, nay nev-er no more
Will I play the wild rov-er,
No nev-er no more
And it's no, nay, nev-er,
No, nay nev-er no more
Will I play the wild rov-er,
No nev-er no more
