The Clancy Brothers Lyrics
"The Wild Rover (live with the Dubliners)"

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 played the wild rover for many a year,
and i spent all me money on whisky and beer.
But now I'm returning with gold in great score
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 into an alehouse where 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 yours I can get any day!".

And it's no, nay, never.
No, nay, never no more,
will I play the wild rover.
No never no more.

And then out of me pockets I took sovereigns bright,
and the landlady's eys opened wide with delight.
She said "I have whisky and wines of the best,
and the words that I said sure were only jest"

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 if they harass me, as oft' times before,
then I'll 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.
