The Wild Rover

G I’ve been a wild rover for manys a yearC.
And I Gspent all me D7money on whiskey and Gbeer
But now I’m returning with gold in great Cstore
And I Gnever will D7play the wild rover no Gmore
And it’s D7no, nay, never G No, nay, never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover No, Gnever, D7no Gmore

G I went into an alehouse I used to freCquent
And I Gtold the landD7lady me money was Gspent
I asked her for credit, she answered me “nayC.
Such a Gcustom as D7yours I can have everyday”G.
And it’s D7no, nay, never G No, nay, never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover No, Gnever, D7no Gmore

G I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns Cbright
And the Glandlady’s eyesD7 opened wide with deGlight
She says “I have whiskeys and wines of the bestC.
And the Gwords that you D7told me were only in Gjest”
And it’s D7no, nay, never G No, nay, never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover No, Gnever, D7no Gmore

G I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve Cdone
And I’ll Gask them to parD7don their prodigal Gson

And it’s D7no, nay, never G No, nay, never no Cmore
Will I Gplay the wild Crover No, Gnever, D7no Gmore
