I' ve been a wild rover for many a year
G C D7 G
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
G C
But now I' m returning with gold in great store
G C D7 G
And I never will play the wild rover no more
D7 G C
And it' s no nay never, no nay never no more
G C D7 G
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
G C
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
G C D7 G
And I told the landlady me money was spent
G C
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
G C D7 G
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"
D7 G C
And it' s no nay never, no nay never no more
G C D7 G
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
G C
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
G C D7 G
And the landlady' s eyes opened wide with delight
G C
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
G C D7 G
And the words that I told you were only in jest!"
D7 G C
And it' s no nay never, no nay never no more
G C D7 G
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
G C
I' ll go home to my parents, confess what I' ve done
G C D7 G
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
G C
And when they' ve caressed me as oftimes before
G C D7 G
I never will play the wild rover no more.
D7 G C
And it' s no nay never, no nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
D7 G C
And it' s no nay never, no nay never no more
G C D7 G
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
