[Verse]
A D
I've been the wild rover for many's the year
A E A
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
A D
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
A E A
And I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
E A D
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
A D E A
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more
[Verse]
A D
I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
A E A
And I told the landlady me money was spent
A D
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay"
A E A
"Such a custom as yours I can have every day"
[Verse]
A D
I then took from me money ten sovereigns bright
A E A
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
A D
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best"
A E A
And the words that you told me were only in jest
[Chorus]
E A D
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
A D E A
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more
E A D
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
A D E D E
Will I play the wild rover, no, never no more

A A D
I'll home to my parents, confess what I'd done
A E A
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
A A D
And when they've caressed me as ofttimes before
A E A
I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]

And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never no more
