I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I spent all me 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
I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
Sure a custom like yours I can have any day
I took from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskeys and wines of the best”
And the words that I spoke sure 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
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more
