Dropkick Murphys – Wild Rover Lyrics  Share

From Dropkick Murphys's album: Singles Collection, Volume 2

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 that 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 like yours I could have any day

[Chorus]

[ Wild Rover lyrics from

I then 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
