The Wild Rover
A traditional Irish song - be sure to find someone to clap at the
appropriate times (if you don't know where those are, you should
drink more Guinness.)
G C
I’ve been a wild rover, for many a year
G D7 G
And I’ve spend all my money on whiskey and beer
C
But now I’m returning with gold in great store
G D7 G
And I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
D7 G C
And it’s no, ney, never, . . . . . . no, nay, never no more
G C G D7 G
I will play the wild rover, no never no more
[End Chorus]
C
I brought up from me pocket ten souvereigns bright
G D7 G
And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight
C
She said "I have whiskey and wine’s of the best"
G D7 G
And the words that you’ve told me were only in jest
[Chorus]
C
I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve done
G D7 G
And I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
C
And when they’ve caressed me, as oft times before
G D7 G
I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
