The Wild Rover - Celtic Thunder

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

And I’ve spent all me money on whiskey and beer

But now I’m returning with gold great store

And I never will pay the wild rover no more

And it’s no, nay, never

No, nay, never no more

Will I pay 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 can have any day»

And it’s no, nay, never

No, nay, never no more

Will I pay the wild rover

No, never no more

I took out from me pocket ten sovereigns bright

And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight

She said «I have whiskeys and wines of the best

Sure the words that I spoke they were only in jest

And it’s no, nay, never

No, nay, never no more

Will I pay the wild rover

No, never no more

I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’d done

And I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son

And when they’ve caressed me as ofttimes before

I never will play the wild rover no more

And it’s no, nay, never

No, nay, never no more

Will I pay the wild rover

No, never no more

And it’s no, nay, never

No, nay, never no more

Will I pay the wild rover

No, never no more
