The Wild Rover lyrics
Song information
Artist: Dropkick Murphys Album: Sing Loud, Sing Proud
Lyrics
I've been a wild rover for many's the year And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer And now I'm returning with gold in great store And I never will play the wild rover no more
Chorus: And it's no, nay, never! (clap-clap-clap-clap) No, nay, never, no more! (clap-clap) Will I play the wild rover (clap) No, never, no more
I went into an alehouse I used to frequent And I told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me, "nay Such a custom like yours I could have any day"
(Chorus)
I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She says, "i have whiskeys and wines of the best And those words that you told me were only in jest."
(Chorus)
I go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I ask them to pardon their prodigal son And when they've caressed me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more
(Chorus)
