No Nay Never

Lyrics

I've been a wild rover for many a year
 And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
 But now I'm returning with gold in great store
 And i sware I'll play the wild rover no more
 And it's no nay never
 No nay never no more
 Will I play the wild rover
 No never no more
 I went to a nailhouse I used to frequent
 And told the landlady my money were spent
 I asked her for credit, but she answered me "Nay
 Such a Customers as you I can get any day"
 And it's no nay never
 No nay never no more
 Will I play the wild rover
 No never no more
 I took from my pocket a hand full of gold
 And on the round table it glittered and rolld
 When the landlady smled, she served me the best
 "What i told you beforr, sure it was only in jest"
 And it's no nay never
 No nay never no more
 Will I play the wild rover
 No never no more
 I'll go home to my parents, confessed what I've done
 And hope they will pardon their prodigal son
 And if they will do as so often before
 And i sware I'll play the wild rover no more
 And it's no nay never
 No nay never no more
 Will I play the wild rover
 No never no more
 And it's no nay never
 No nay never no more
 Will I play the wild rover
 No never no more
