Testo di The Wild Rover

Chorus (after each verse): 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 a year And 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 I 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 could have any day" Then out of my pocket I took sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said, "I have whiskey and wines of the best And the words that I spoke, they were only in jest" I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And if they caress me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more (Chorus 3x)
