G                                      C
I've been a wild rover, for many's the year

     G            D                    G
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer

                                         C
But now I'm returning with gold in great store

      G          D                      G
And I never will play the wild rover no more

         D        D7
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)

G                  C
No, nay, never, no more

       G             C
Will I play the wild rover

    G      D  G
No, never, no more

G                                      C
I went to an ale house, I used to frequent

     G            D                    G
And I told the landlady me money was spent

                                         C
I asked her for credit, she answered my nay

        G          D                  G
Such a custom as yours I can get any day

         D        D7
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)

G                  C
No, nay, never, no more

No, never, no more

G                                          C
I brought from my pocket, ten souvereigns bright

     G              D                    G
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight

                                          C
She said I have whiskeys and wines of the best

        G            D                     G
And the words that I told you were only in jest

         D        D7
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)

G                  C
No, nay, never, no more

       G             C
Will I play the wild rover

    G      D  G
No, never, no more

G                                             C
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done

           G            D                    G
And I'll ask that the pardon their prodigal son

                                        C
And if the caress me, as oft times before

    G          D                      G
I never will play the wild rover no more
