I've Gbeen a wild rover for many a Cyear
I Gspent all me Cmoney on D7whiskey and Gbeer
But Gnow I'm returning with gold in great Cstore
And GI never will Cplay the D7wild rover no Gmore
CHORUS:
And it's D7no nay never, Gno nay never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover, no D7never, no Gmore
I Gwent in to an alehouse I used to freCquent
And I Gtold the landClady me D7money was Gspent
I Gasked her for credit, she answered me C"Nay!"
"Such Gcustom as Cyours I could D7have any Gday!"
CHORUS:And it`s....
I Gtook out of me pocket ten sovereigns Cbright
And the Glandlady's Ceyes opened D7wide with deGlight
She Gsaid: "I have whiskeys and wines on the Cbest!
And the Gwords that I Ctold you were D7only in Gjest!"
CHORUS:And it`s...
I'll go Ghome to my parents, confess what I've Cdone
And Gask them to Cpardon their D7prodigal Gson
And Gwhen they've caressed me as oftimes beCfore
I Gnever will Cplay the wild D7rover no Gmore.
