[Verse 1]
I've [G]been a wild rover for many [C]a year
And I've spent [G]all my [D]money
on whiskey and [G]beer
But now I'm returning to a
golden bridge store
[C]And [G]I never will [D]play the wild rover no [G]more
And [D]it's no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never [C]no more
Will [G]I pay the wild grow[C]er?
[D]No, never, no more
[G]Well, I went to a nail house
I used to fre[C]quent
And I [G]told the [D]landlady my money was spent
[G]I asked her for credit,
she answered [C]me, nay
Such [G]custom [D]as yours
I can have any day
[G]And [D]it's no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, no [C]more
Will I [G]pay the wild [C]grower?
No, [D]never, no [G]more
I pulled from my pocket
and saw her as bright
[C]And [G]the landlady's [D]eyes
opened wide with de[G]light
She said, I have whiskeys
and wines of the best
[C]Say [G]the words that I
[D]told you were only a [G]jest
An[D]d it's no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, [C]no more
Will [G]I play the [C]Wild Rover?
[D]No, never, no more
[G]I go home to my parents,
but that's when I'm [C]gone
I'll [G]ask them [D]to pardon their
prodigal [G]son
And when they've arrested me
as of times before
[C]Then I nev[G]er wil[D]l play
the Wild Rover no more
[G]And it's [D]no -day -never,
[G]no -day -never no [C]more
Will I [G]play the white [C]rover?
No [D]never no [G]more
And it's [D]no -day -never,
[G]no -day -never no [C]more
Will I [G]play the white [C]rover?
No [D]never no [G]more you
