Testo The Wild Rover

Chorus: 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 the 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 Chorus I went into an alehouse 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 could have any day Chorus I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady's eyes opened up with delight she said I had whiskeys and wines of the best and the words that you told me were only in jest 2xChorus I went home to my parents, confessed what I'd done and I asked them to pardon their prodigal son and when they'd caressed me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more 2xChorus
