Lyrics:

Now I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer!
But now I'm returning with gold in full store
And I never will play the wild rover no more!
So it's no, no never
Never no more!
Oh I never will play the wild rover no more!
I went to a joint that I used to frequent
And I told the land lady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
\'A customer like you I could find any day!\'
So it's no, no never
Never no more!
Oh I never will play the wild rover no more!
So I pulled from my pocket 3 gold sovereigns bright
And the land lady's eyes opened wide with delight!
\'Well the words that I spoke sir were only in jest
Come inside for some whiskey and wines of the best!\'
So it's no, no never
Never no more!
Well I never will play the wild rover no more!
So now I'm returning to Dad and to Mum
And I'll ask them to welcome their prodigal son
And if they'll have me back as they've done before
Well I never will play the wild rover no more!
So it's no, no never
Never no more!
Oh I never will play the wild rover no more!
No, no never
Never no more!
Oh I never will play the wild rover no more!
