Misc The Wild Rover
THE WILD ROVER I've been a wild rover for many's the year and I've spent all my money on whisky and beer. But now I'm returning with money in great store and I never will play the wild rover no more. And it's 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 ne: "Nay, Such a custom as yours I can have ev'ry day". And it's no nay never, no nay never no more will I play the wild rover no never no more. Then I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright and the lanlady's eyes opened winde with delight; she said: "I have whisky and wine of the best and the words that you told me were only in jest". And it's no nay never, no nay never no more will I play the wild rover no never no more. I'll go home to my parents confess what i have done and I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son, and when thes caress me as oft-times before, I never will play the wild rover no more. And it's no nay never, no nay never no more will I play the wild rover no never no more.
