- I've been a wild rover for many's the year
- 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,
- No, nay never no more
- Will I play the wild rover,
- No never no more
- I went in to 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 customer as you 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 up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
- And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
- She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
- And the words that you 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'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
- 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
