\beginverse
|
|
|
|
|
I went into an ale-house 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 can get any day

\beginverse
|
|
|
|
|
I took from my pocket 10 sovereigns bright
|
|
|
|
|
And the landladie's eyes opened wide with delight
|
|
|
|
|
She said I have whiskey and wines of the best
|
|
|
|
|
And the words that I spoke were only in jest
|
|

\beginverse
|
|
|
|
|
I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done
|
|
|
|
|
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
|
|
|
|
|
And when they forgive me as oft times before
|
|
|
|
|
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more
