The Wild Rover

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