The Wild Rover - Craic in the Stone

Composed by：Public Domain

I've been a wild rover for many a year

I spent all my money on whiskey and beer

And now I'm returning with gold in great store

And promis 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

Such a custom like yours I could have any day

And it's no nay never

No nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more

Then all from my pocket I took sovereigns bright

And the landlady's eyes a lad of wide with delight

She said I have whiskey and wines of the best

And the words that I spoke sure were 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 home to my parents confess what I've done

And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son

And if they forgive me as ofttimes before

I promis 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

One more time

And it's no nay never

No nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover

No never no more
