[Verse 1]
I've [C] been a wild [G7] rover for [C] many's a [F] year
And I've [C] spent all me [G7] money on whiskey and [C] beer
But now I'm re[G7]turning with [C] gold in great [F] store,
And I [C] never will [G7] play the wild rover no [C] more
|[Chorus]
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|Will I [C] play the wild [F] rover,
|No [C] never, [G7] no [C] more
[Verse 2]
I went to an [G7] alehouse I [C] used to fre[F]quent,
And I [C] told the land[G7]lady my money was [C] spent,
I asked her for [G7] credit, she [C] answered me [F] "Nay...
Sure its [C] custom like [G7] yours I can get any [C] day."
|[Chorus]
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|Will I [C] play the wild [F] rover,
|No [C] never, [G7] no [C] more
[Verse 3]
I took from me [G7] pocket ten [C] sovereigns [F] bright,
And the [C] landlady's [G7] eyes opened wide with de[C]light,
She said, "I have [G7] whiskeys and [C] wines of the [F] best,
Sure the [C] words that I [G7] spoke now were only in [C] jest.
|[Chorus]
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|Will I [C] play the wild [F] rover,
|No [C] never, [G7] no [C] more
[Verse 4]
I'll go home to my [G7] parents, [C] confess what I've [F] done,
And I'll [C] ask them to [G7] pardon their prodigal [C] son,
