Dropkick Murphys - Wild Rover lyrics
[Dropkick Murphys - Wild Rover lyrics]
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover no never no more
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
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
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover no never no more
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Such a custom as you I can have any day
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover no never no more
I took up from me pocket
Ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened
Up with delight
She says "I have whiskeys and
Wines of the best
And the words that you told
Me were only in jest"
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
I'll go home to my parents
Confess what I've done and I'll ask them to
Pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me
As oft times before
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
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover no never no more
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
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
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover no never no more
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Such a custom as you I can have any day
And it's No, Nay, never
No, nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover no never no more
I took up from me pocket
Ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened
Up with delight
She says "I have whiskeys and
Wines of the best
And the words that you told
Me were only in jest"
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
I'll go home to my parents
Confess what I've done and I'll ask them to
Pardon their prodigal son
And, when they've caressed me
As oft times before
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
