G#  C#
Iʼve been a wild rover for many a year
G#  C#  D#7  G#
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
G#  C#
But now Iʼm returning with gold in great store
G#  C#  D#7  G#
And I never will play the wild rover no more

D#7  G#  C#
And itʼs no nay never, no nay never no more
G#  C#  D#7  G#
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

G#  C#
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
G#  C#  D#7  G#
And I told the landlady me money was spent
G#  C#
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
G#  C#  D#7  G#
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"

D#7  G#  C#
And itʼs no nay never, no nay never no more
G#  C#  D#7  G#
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

G#  C#
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
G#  C#  D#7  G#
And the landladyʼs eyes opened wide with delight
G#  C#
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
G#  C#  D#7  G#
And the words that I told you were only in jest!"

D#7  G#  C#
And itʼs no nay never, no nay never no more
G#  C#  D#7  G#
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

G#  C#
Iʼll go home to my parents, confess what Iʼve done
G#  C#  D#7  G#
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
G#  C#
And when theyʼve caressed me as oftimes before
G#  C#  D#7  G#
I never will play the wild rover no more.

D#7  G#  C#
And itʼs no nay never, no nay never no more
G#  C#  D#7  G#
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
