The Wild Rover - Paddy Reilly, The Dubliners

I’ve been a wild rover for many’s the year.

And I spent all me money on wiskey and beer.

But Now I’m returning with gold and 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 costumers yours

I could have any day

and its no nay never

No nay never no more

Will i play the wild rover

no never no more
