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
