Song lyrics:

I'VE BEEN A WILD ROVER
FOR MANY'S THE YEAR
AND I'VE SPENT ALL ME MONEY
ON WHISKEY AND BEER

BUT 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 INTO AN ALE HOUSE
I USED TO FREQUENT
AND I TOLD THE LANDLADY
ME MONEY WAS SPENT

I ASKED HER FOR CREDIT
SHE ANSWERED ME NAY
SUCH A CUSTOM AS YOURS
I CAN HAVE EVERY DAY

AND IT'S NO, NAY, NEVER
NO, NAY, NEVER NO MORE
WILL I PLAY THE WILD ROVER
NO NEVER NO MORE

I THEN TOOK FROM ME POCKET
TEN SOVEREIGNS BRIGHT
AND THE LANDLADY'S EYES
OPENED WIDE WITH DELIGHT

SHE SAYS I HAVE WHISKIES
AND WINES OF THE BEST
AND THE WORDS
THAT YOU TOLD ME
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
CONFESS WHAT I'VE DONE
AND I'LL ASK THEM TO PARDON
THEIR PRODIGAL SON

AND WHEN THEY'VE CARESSED 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
