The Wild Rover

I've been a wild rover for many's the year And I spend all my 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 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 my landlady my money was spent I asked her for credit she answered me nay Such a custom as yours I could have any day And it's no, nay, never I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened up with delight She said she had whiskeys and wines of the best And the words that she tolt me were only in jest And it's no, nay, never I went home to my parents confest what I'd done And I asked them to pardon their prodigal son And when they'd caressed me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more And it's no, nay, never --- The Wild Rover - Shane MacGowan and Dropkick Murphys
