The Wild Rover

Traditional song Sung by shane mcgowan and sinead o'connor ----------------------------------------- I've been a wild rover for many's the year And i spent all me money on whiskey and beer But now i'm returning with gold in great store And i promise to 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 But i went to an ale house i used to frequent And i told the landlady me money's all spent But i asked her for credit she answered me nay Sure a 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 lent from my pocket i took sovereigns bright And the landlady's legs opened wide with delight She says i have whiskey and wines of the best And the words that i spoke were to ya only in jest And it's no nay never No nay never no more Will i play the wild rover No never no more But i'll go home to my parents confess what i've done And i'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And if they'll embraced me as oft times before I promise to 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..
