Wild Rover - The Sign Posters

I’ve been a wild rover for many a year

and I’ve spent all me money on whiskey and beer

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,

No, nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover,

No never no more

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent

And I told the landlady me money was spent

I asked her for bottle, she answered me nay

Such a customer as you I can have any day

And it’s No, Nay, never,

No, nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover,

No never no more

And out of my pocket I took ten sovereigns bright

And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight

She says «I have whiskeys and wines of the best

And the words that I said sure 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

And it’s No, Nay, never,

No, nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover,

No never no more
