Wild Rover Songtext
von Wild Mountain Thyme

Well I′ve been the wild rover for many's year
And I′ve spent all me 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

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

Well I went to an alehouse that I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
When I asked her for credit she answered me
"Such a customer as yours I can get any day"

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


Well then out of me pocket I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady′s eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And I'll take you upstairs and I′ll show you the rest"

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

I'll go back to me parents, confess what I've done
And I′ll beg them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they′ll caress me as of times before
Then I'll sneak out again and I′ll do it once more

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