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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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