Dropkick Murphys – The Wild Rover (traditional) Lyrics  Share

From Dropkick Murphys's album: Sing Loud, Sing Proud!

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 no, nay, never!
No more will I play the wild rover 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 as yours I could have any day
[ The Wild Rover (traditional) lyrics from

I took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady^,s eyes opened up with delight
she said she had whiskeys and wines of the best and the words that she told me were only in jest

I went home to my parents, confessed what I^,d done
and I asked them to pardon their prodigal son
and when they^,d caressed me as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more
