    I have [G]been a wild rover for many's a [C]year
    And I [D]spent all my money on whiskey and [G]beer
    But [G]now I'm returning with gold in great [C]store
    And I [G]never will play the wild [D]rover no [G]more
  

  {start_of_chorus}
    And it's [D]no, nay, never
    [G] No, nay, never no [C]more
    Will I [G]play the wild [C]rover
    No, [D]never, no [G]more
  {end_of_chorus}

      I went [G]into an Ale House I used to fre[C]quent
      And I [D]told the landlady my money was [G]spent
      I [G]asked her for credit she answered me, ``[C]Nay!''
      ``Such [G]custom as [D]yours, I could have any [G]day''
    

    
      I [G]took from my pocket, ten sovereigns [C]bright
      And the [D]landlady's eyes opened wide with de[G]light
      She [G]said I'd have whiskey and wines of the [C]best
      And the [G]words that she [D]told me were only in [G]jest
    

    
      I'll [G]go home to my parents, confess what I've [C]done
      And I'll [D]ask them to pardon their prodigal [G]son
      And [G]when they've caressed me as oft' times be[C]fore
      Then I [G]never will [D]play the wild rover no [G]more
