SOL DO
I've been a wild rover for many a year
SOL DO RE7 SOL
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
SOL DO
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
SOL DO RE7 SOL
And I never will play the wild rover no more
chorus
RE7 SOL DO
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
SOL DO RE7 SOL
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
SOL DO
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
SOL DO RE7 SOL
And I told the landlady me money was spent
SOL DO
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
SOL DO RE7 SOL
"Such custom as yours I could have any day!"
chorus
SOL DO
I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
SOL DO RE7 SOL
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
SOL DO
She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
SOL DO RE7 SOL
And the words that I told you were only in jest!"
chorus
SOL DO
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
SOL DO RE7 SOL
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
SOL DO
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before
SOL DO RE7 SOL
I never will play the wild rover no more.
chorus (x2)
