The Wild Rover
Chorus:
D
And it's no Nae Never (clap clap clap clap)
G C
No nae never no more (clap clap)
G C G D7 G
Will I play the wild rover (clap) No never no more
G C
I've been a wild rover for many a year
G D7 G
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
G C
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
G D7 G
And I never will play the wild rover no more CHORUS
G C
I went into an alehouse I used to frequent
G D7 G
And I told the landlady my money was spent
G C
I asked her for whiskey, she answered me Nay
G D7 G
Such a custom as yours I can get any day CHORUS
G C
Then out of my pocket, I took sovereigns bright,
G D7 G
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
G C
She said, "I have whiskey, and wines of the best,
G D7 G
And the words that I spoke, sure were only in jest CHORUS
G C
I'll go back to my parents, confess what I've done,
G D7 G
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
G C
And if they forgive me, as oftimes before,
G D7 G
Then I never will play the wild rover no more CHORUS
