at Vicar street <br /><br />I have been a wild rover for many's the year <br />And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer <br />But now I'm returning with gold in great store <br />And I never will play The Wild Rover no more. <br />(Chorus:) <br />And it's no nay never <br />No nay never no more <br />Will I play The Wild Rover <br />No never no more <br />I went to an Ale House I used to frequent <br />And I told the landlady how my money was spent <br />I asked her for credit she answered me "nay <br />Such a custom as yours I can have any day" <br />(Chorus) <br />I took from my pocket 10 Sovereigns Bright <br />And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight <br />She said I have wiskey and wines of the best <br />And the words that I told they were only in Jest <br />(Chorus) <br />I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done <br />And I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son <br />And when they've caressed me as oft'times before <br />I promise to play The Wild Rover no more <br />(Chorus)x2
