The Wild Rover lyrics
Song information
Artist: The Town Pants Album: Liverdance
Lyrics
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, (right up his kilt!) 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 ordered me out Such a custom as yours I can sure live without
Then out of my pocket I took sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight; She said: "i have whisky and wine of the best And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest"
I'll go home to my parents confess what I have done And I'll ask them to pardon the prodigal son And when they've embraced me as oft-times before I never will play the wild rover no more
