I've been a wild rover for many a year,
And I've spent all me money on whisky and beer,
And now I'm retierd with gold in great store,
And I never will play the wild rover no more,
And its no nay nerver,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover,
no never no more,
(Tempo Change)
Went into an ale house I used to frequent,
And I Told my landlady me money was spent,
She asked me for credit I answerded her "NAY!",
"Such custom as yours I could have any a day!",
And its no nay nerver,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover,
no never no more,
I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done,
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son,
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before,
And I never will play the wild rover no more,
And its no nay nerver,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover,
no never no more,
And its no nay nerver,
No nay never no more,
Will I play the wild rover,
no never no more,
The origanal song was played in the key of G but SLF played it in A.
