The wild rover

C                              F
I've been the wild rover for many a year
  C            G                    C
I spent all my money on whiskey and beer.
    C                              F
But now I'm returning with gold in restore
C          G             G7       C
Never I'll play the wild rover no more.

         G               G7  C
And it's no, nay, never, oooooh
                  F
No, ney, never no more,
       C             F
Will I play the wild rover,
    C      G7 C
No, never, no more.

2.   I went to a shanty I used to frequent
Told the landlady my money was spent.
I asked her for credit, she answered me “nay”
Saying: “Costumers like you I can get any day.”
And it's no...

3.   I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright.
The landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
Saying: “I have the whisky and wine of the best
And the words I just told you were only in
jest.”
And it's no...

4.   I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've
done,
And hope they will pardon their prodigal son.
And if they will do, as so often before,
Never I'll play the wild rover no more.
And it's no...
