Wild Rover - Rolf Harris

Now I’ve been a wild rover for many a year

And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer,

But now I’m returning with gold in full store

And I never will play the wild rover no more.

So it’s no, no, never,

never no more,

Oh, I never will play the wild rover no more.

Well I went to a joint that I used to frequent

And I told the landlady my money was spent.

I asked her for credit, she answered me «Nay,

a customer like you I could find any day.»

So it’s no, no, never,

never no more,

Oh, I never will play the wild rover no more.

So I pulled from my pocket three gold sovereigns bright

And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight.

«Well the words that I spoke Sir were only in jest

come inside for some whiskey and wines of the best.»

So it’s no, no, never,

never no more,

Well, I never will play the wild rover no more.

So now I’m returning to Dad and to Mum

And I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.

And if they’ll have me back as they’ve done before

Well I never will play the wild rover no more.

So it’s no, no, never,

never no more,

Oh, I never will play the wild rover no more.

No, no, never,

never no more,

Oh, I never will play the wild rover no more.
