The Wild Rover No More
 
 	C	    G		c     F
Oh I've been a wild rover this many a year,
	  C           G        G7          C
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer;
    C         G             C            F  
But now I'm returning with gold in great store,
      C           F             G7       F
And I never shall play the wild rover no more.
G              C        F
No! No! never; never no more;
  C           F             G        C
I never shall play the wild rover no more!

I dropt into a shanty I used to frequent,
And I told the land-lady my money was spent;
I asked her for credit she answered me "Nay!
Such a custom as yours I can get every day."
So it's no, no, never;  never no more;
I never shall play the wild rover no more!

Then I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight;
Said she "I have whiskey and wines of the best,
And the words that I told you were only in jest."
But it's no, no, never; never no more;
I never shall play the wild rover no more!

I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done;
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son;
And if they will do so as often before,
Then I never shall play the wild rover no more.
For it's no, no, never; never no more;
I never shall play the wild rover no more!
