The Wild Rover
GI've been a wild rover, for many's the Cyear
I've Gspent all me Dmoney on whiskey and Gbeer
But now I'm returning with gold in great Cstore
And I Gnever will Dplay the wild rover no Gmore
CHO: And it's Dno, nay, D7never (clap-clap-clap-clap)
GNo, nay, never, no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover
No, Gnever, Dno Gmore
I went to an ale house, I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered my nay
Such a custom as yours I can get any day
(chorus)
I brought from my pocket, ten souvereigns bright
And the landladys eyes opened wide with delight
She said I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that I told you were only in jest
(chorus)
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask that the pardon their prodigal son
And if the caress me, as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
(chorus)
