Wild Rover

I’ve G been a wild rover, for many a C year

And I’ve spent all m y D 7 money on whiskey and G beer
But now I’m returning with gold in great C store
And I G never will play the wild rover no C more

And it’s D 7 no, nay, never

G No, nay, never no C more

W ill I G play the wild C rover

No G never D 7 no G more

I went into an ale house, I used to frequent

And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she ans wered me nay
Such a custom as yours I can have ever y day

And it’s ..

I took from m y pocket ten sovereigns bright

And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight
She said:” I have whiskies and wine of the best
And the words that you’ve told me wer e only in
jest “

And it’s

I’ll go home to m y parents,confess what I’ve done

And I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they’ve caressed me,as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
