Wild Rover Scottish Folk Song Lyrics

The Wild Rover 

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 never will play the wild rover no more..........

And it's no, nae, never, no nae never no more
Will I play the wild rover no never no more

I went to an ale house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
When I asked her for credit, she answered me nae
Saying custom like yours I can get any day

And it’s no, nae, never, no nae never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never no more

I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes open wide with delight
Said she I have whiskey and wines O’ the best
And the words that I told you were only in jest

And it's no, nae, never, no nae never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never no more

I’ll go back to my parents, confess what I've done
And hope that they pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress me as oft as before
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nae, never, no nae never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never no more
