The Wild Rover Testo

but now I'm returning with gold in great store
and I swear I 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 ale house 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 get any day

And it's no nay never
no nay never no more
will I play the wild rover
no never no more

I lent from my pocket I took sovereigns bright
[The beginning of this line can't be right. I'm not sure of the correct words, though.]
and the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
[Eyes, not legs, for goodness sake!]
she said I have whiskey and wines of the best
and the words that I spoke were to ya 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 back to my parents, confess what I've done
and ask them to pardon their prodigal son
and if they'll forgive me as oft times before
then I swear I 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..
