59. The wild Rover

(1)
I've (C)been a wild rover for many a (F)year
I (C)spent all me (F)money on (G7)whiskey and (C)beer
But (C)now I'm returning with gold in great (F)store
And I (C)never will (F)play the wild (G7)rover no (C)more
(Refräng)
And it's (G7)no nay never, (C)no nay never no (F)more
Will I (C)play the wild (F)rover, no (G7)never, no (C)more
(2)
I (C)went in to an alehouse I used to (F)frequent
And I (C)told the land(F)lady me (G7)money was (C)spent
I (C)asked her for credit, she answered me (F)"Nay!"
"Such (C)custom as (F)yours I could (G7)have any (C)day!"
(Refräng)
And it's (G7)no nay never, (C)no nay never no (F)more
Will I (C)play the wild (F)rover, no (G7)never, no (C)more

(3)
I (C)took out of me pocket ten sovereigns (F)bright
And the (C)landlady's (F)eyes opened (G7)wide with (C)delight
She (C)said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the (F)best!
And the (C)words that I (F)told you were (G7)only in (C)jest!"
(Refräng)
And it's (G7)no nay never, (C)no nay never no (F)more
Will I (C)play the wild (F)rover, no (G7)never, no (C)more

(4)
I'll go (C)home to my parents, confess what I've (F)done
And (C)ask them to (F)pardon their (G7)prodigal (C)son
And (C)when they've caressed me as oftimes (F)before
I (C)never will play the wild (G7)rover no (C)more.
(Refräng)

And it's (G7)no nay never, (C)no nay never no (F)more
Will I (C)play the wild (F)rover, no (G7)never, no (C)more
And it's (G7)no nay never, (C)no nay never no (F)more
Will I (C)play the wild (F)rover, no (G7)never, no (C)more
