I've been a wild rover for many a year,
A D E A
And I've spent all me money on whisky and beer,

And its no nay nerver,

No nay never no more,
A D
Will I play the wild rover,

Went into an ale house I used to frequent,
A D E A
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,
A D
No nay never no more,
A D
Will I play the wild rover,

I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done,
A D E A
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son,
D
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before,
A D E A
And I never will play the wild rover no more,
E
And its no nay nerver,
A D
No nay never no more,
A D
Will I play the wild rover,
