The Very Wild Rover by Cruachan
The Very Wild Rover lyrics
I�ve been the wild rover for many�s a year,
and I�ve spent all my 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.
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�,
saying �Custom like yours I can have any day�.
And it�s no, nay, never!
No, nay, never, no more
will I play the wild rover.
No, never, no more.
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 told you were only in 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, tell them what I�ve done,
and I�ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son,
and when they have kissed me, as oft-times before,
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.
And it�s no, nay, never!
No, nay, never, no more
will I play the wild rover.
No, never, no more.
