- The Dubliners The Wild Rover 歌詞
- The Dubliners
- Ive been a wild rover for manys the year
and Ive spent all my money on whiskey and beer.
But now Im returning with gold in great store
and I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus:]
And its no, nay, never,
no, nay, never, no more
will I play the wild rover
no, never, no more
I went into an ale-house 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 like yours I can have any day
[Chorus]
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
and the landladys eyes opened wide with delight.
She said Id have whiskey and wines of the best
and the words that she told me were only in jest.
[Chorus]
Ill go home to my parents, confess what Ive done,
and Ill ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And when theyve caressed me as oft times before
then I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
