The Very Wild Rover - Cruachan

The Very Wild Rover - Cruachan
I've been the wild rover for many's a year
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
And now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will 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 an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit she answered me Nay
Saying custom like yours I can have 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 ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that I told you were 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 tell them what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they have kissed me as oft times before
I never will 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
