 7 - The Wild Rover 

The Dublinners

I′ve been a wild rover for many a year
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I′m returning with gold in great store
And i sware I'll play the wild rover no more

And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more

I went to a nail house I used to frequent
And told the landlady my money were spent
I asked her for credit, but she answered me "Nay
Such a Customers as you I can get any day"

And it′s no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more

I took from my pocket a hand full of gold
And on the round table it glittered and rolld
When the landlady smiled, she served me the best
"What i told you before, sure it was only in jest"

And it′s no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more

I'll go home to my parents, confessed what I′ve done
And hope they will pardon their prodigal son
And if they will do as so often before
And i sware I'll play the wild rover no more

And it′s no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more

And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
