at Vicar street    I have been a wild rover for many's the year       And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer       But now I'm returning with gold in great store       And I never will play The Wild Rover no more.       (Chorus:)       And it's no nay never       No nay never no more       Will I play The Wild Rover       No never no more       I went to an Ale House I used to frequent       And I told the landlady how my money was spent       I asked her for credit she answered me "nay       Such a custom as yours I can have any day"       (Chorus)       I took from my pocket 10 Sovereigns Bright       And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight       She said I have wiskey and wines of the best       And the words that I told they were only in Jest       (Chorus)       I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done       And I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son       And when they've caressed me as oft'times before       I promise to play The Wild Rover no more       (Chorus)x2
