I've been a wild rover for many's the year and I've 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, (clap clap clap clap) no, nay, never, no will I play the wild rover. No never, no more.

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 can have any day.

I then took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight. She said I'd have whiskey and wines of the best and the words that she told me 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 when they've caressed me as oft' times before then I never will play the wild rover no more.
