Taken from the live album "See You Up There"
     C                            F
I've been a wild rover for many a year,

         C            F        G7         C
And I've spent all me money on whisky and beer,

                                       F
And now I'm retired with gold in great store,

      C          F             G7       C
And I never will play the wild rover no more,

         G7
And it's no nay never,

C               F
No nay never no more,

       C             F
Will I play the wild rover,

   G7        C
no never no more,
(Tempo Change)
     C                           F
Went into an ale house I used to frequent,

      C       F           G7        C
And I told my landlady me money was spent,

                                        F
She asked me for credit, I answered her "NAY!",

      C         F             G7         C
"Such custom as yours I could have any a day!",

         G7
And it's no nay never,

C               F
No nay never no more,

       C             F
Will I play the wild rover,

   G7       C
no never no more,

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

         C           F            G7       C
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son,

                                        F
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before,

      C          F             G7       C
And I never will play the wild rover no more,

         G7
And it's no nay never,

C               F
No nay never no more,

       C             F
Will I play the wild rover,

   G7        C
no never no more,

         G7
And it's no nay never,

C               F
No nay never no more,

       C             F
Will I play the wild rover,

   G7       C
no never no more,
