Wild Rover Songtext
von Blaggards

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

I have been a wild rover for many's a year
And I spent all my money on hookers and beer
And now I′m returning with gold and 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 to the Continental, a place I'd frequent
And I told the bartender, "Hey, my money it′s spent"
I asked them for credit, they said, "Go away
You′re a sweaty old blackguard and that's all we′ll say"


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

I took out from my pockets gold coins shining bright
And the landlady′s arms opened wide with delight
She said, "I have whiskey and wine to the best"
And the words that I spoke, sure they're only in jest

But it′s no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never no more

I'll go back to my parents, I'll confess what I′ve done
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they molest me as I′ve done before
Well it's then I might play the wild rover some 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
