No Nay Never - The Irish Rovers

I’ve been a wild rover for many a year

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

But now I’m returning with gold in great store

And i sware I’ll 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 to a nailhouse I used to frequent

And told the landlady my money were spent

I asked her for credit, but she answered me «Nay

Such a Customers as you I can get 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 from my pocket a hand full of gold

And on the round table it glittered and rolld

When the landlady smled, she served me the best

«what i told you beforr, sure it was 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, confessed what I’ve done

And hope they will pardon their prodigal son

And if they will do as so often before

And i sware I’ll 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
