Wild Rover Lyrics & Chords By The Merry Wives Of Windsor

I've been a wild rover for many a year,
And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer (oops!)
But now I'm returning with gold in great store,
And I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay, never! (Bum bum bum bum)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I went to an alehouse I used to frequent,
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me, "Nay",
“Such custom as yours I can find any day"

And it's no, nay, never! (Bum bum bum bum)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright,
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best,
And the words that I spoke so were only in jest"

And it's no, nay, never! (Bum bum bum bum)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

I'll go home to my parents, confess I’ve gone wild,
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal child
And if they forgive me as oft-times before,
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay, never! (Bum bum bum bum)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more

And it's no, nay, never! (Bum bum bum bum)
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover,
No never no more
