Dropkick Murphys Wild Rover song lyrics

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

And it's no, nay, never no, nay, never!

No more 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 could 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 me pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady's eyes opened up with delight

She said she had whiskeys and wines of the best and the words that she told me 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 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
