I've {{G}}been a wild rover for many a {{C}}year | I've {{G}}been a wild rover for many a {{C}}year | ||
I've Gbeen a wild rover for many a Cyear
And I D7spent all my money on whiskey and Gbeer,
And now I'm returning with gold in great Cstore
And I D7never will play the wild rover no Gmore.
And it's D7no, nay, never, x x x Gx
No nay never no Cmore,
Will I Gplay the wild Crover
No D7never no Gmore.
I went to an ale-house 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."
I took from my pocket ten 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 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 (forgive) me as ofttimes before
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more.
