The Wild Rover
I've been a wild rovr 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 never will play the wild rover no more

And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that I you told me were only in jest"
And it's no...

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
And it's no...
