I've been a wild rover for many's the year			
And spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

Went into an alehouse I used to frequent			
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me ""nay""
""Such a custom as yours I can have every day""

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright		
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says ""I have whiskey and wines of the best""
And the words that you told me were only in jest

I'll go home to me parents, confess what I'd done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me as ofttimes before
I never will play the wild rover no more
