Song Lyrics
When they ve caressed me as oft times before, will i play the wild rover, i ve been a wild rover for many s the year
but now i m returning with gold in great store
Confess what i ve done, nay never no more
No never no more, and the words that you told me were only in jest, and the words that you told me were only in jest
I ve been a wild rover for many s the year, and i told the landlady me money was spent
I ve been a wild rover for many s the year, she says i have whiskeys and wines of the best
Nay never no more, confess what i ve done, confess what i ve done
Nay never no more, nay never no more Rover, no never no more
nay never no more
no never no more
Confess what i ve done, but now i m returning with gold in great store, will i play the wild rover
I never will play the wild rover no more, i asked her for credit
I asked her for credit, nay never no more
Will i play the wild rover, i ll go home to my parents
will i play the wild rover
when they ve caressed me as oft times before
Will i play the wild rover, will i play the wild rover
Will i play the wild rover, ten sovereigns bright
No never no more, nay never no more
i ll go home to my parents
But now i m returning with gold in great store, i took up from my pocket
and the landlady s eyes opened wide with delight
I took up from my pocket, will i play the wild rover
i asked her for credit
i asked her for credit
Ten sovereigns bright, nay never no more
When they ve caressed me as oft times before, i ve been a wild rover for many s the year
i never will play the wild rover no more
