The Pogues The Wild Rover
I ve been a wild rover for many s a year, And I ve spent all my 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 And it s no, nay, never No nay never no more And I ll play the wild rover, No never no more I went to an alehouse I used to frequent, And I told the landlady my money was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me, Nay, Saying, Custom like yours I can have any day And it s no, nay, never No nay never no more And I ll play the wild rover, No never no more I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright, And the landlady s eyes opened wide with delight She said, I have whiskeys and wines of the best, And the words that I told you were only in jest And it s no, nay, never No nay never no more And I ll play the wild rover, No
