Fiddler's Green - The Wild Rover lyrics

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with
Gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

Went into 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
Can have every day"

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

I then took from me
Pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened
Wide with delight
She says "I have whiskey and
Wines of the best"
And the words that you told
Me were only in jest

I'll go home to me parents
Confess what I'd done and I'll ask them to
Pardon their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me
As ofttimes 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

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But 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
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
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
