Dropkick Murphys - Wild Rover Lyrics

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

Well, I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
And now I'm returning with gold in 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 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' like yours I could have any day"

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And those words that you told me were only in jest"

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

I went home to my mother, confessed what I'd done
And I asked her to pardon her prodigal son
And oh when she forgive me as oft times before
I will 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

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
