G C
[Verse]
G
I've been a wild rover this many a year
G7 C
Spent all my money on whiskey and beer
F
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
G C
Never to be a wild rover no more
[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F C
Never, never no more
F C Am
Never, never again will I be
G C
A wild rover no more
[Verse]
G
I went to a shanty I used to frequent
G7 C
I told the landlady my money was spent
F
I asked her for credit, she answered me 'nay'
G C
Saying, "Customers like you, I can get any day"
[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F C
Never, never no more
F C Am
Never, never again will I be
G C
A wild rover no more
[Verse]
G
I pulled from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
G7 C
The landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
F
Saying, "I've got whiskey and wines of the best
G C
And the words that I uttered, were only in jest"
[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F C
Never, never no more
F C Am
Never, never again will I be
G C
A wild rover no more
[Verse]
G
I'll go home to my parents, tell them what I've done
G7 C
I hope they will pardon their prodigal son
F
And if they will do, as so often before
G C
I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F C
Never, never no more
F C Am
Never, never again will I be
G C
A wild rover no more
[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F C
Never, never no more
F C Am
Never, never again will I be
G C G C G C
A wild rover no more
