"Wild Rover No More" lyrics - THE IRISH ROVERS

[Chorus:]
And it's no nay never [4 claps]
No nay never no more [2 claps]
Will I play the wild rover [1 clap]
No never no more [2 claps]

I've been the wild rover for manys a year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
And now I'm returning with gold in great score
And I never will play the wild rover no more CHORUS

[Chorus]

I went into an ale house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit she answered me nay
Such a custom as your I can get any day CHORUS

[Chorus]

Then out of my pockets I took sovereigns bright
And my landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said, "I have whiskey and wines of the best!"
But the answer I gave her was only in jest CHORUS

[Chorus]

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress my as oft times before
Than I never will play the wild rover no more CHORUS

[Chorus 2x]
