Songtext von The Wild Rover

I've played the Wild Rover for many a year And I've spent all my 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 to an alehouse I used to frequent And I told the landlady my money was spent I asked her for a Red Stripe, she answered me "nay" She said, "Patrons like you, I can get any day!" And it's no, nay, never No nay never no more Will I play the Wild Rover No never, no more. From out of my pockets I took moneys bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said, "I have Red Stripes, and wines of the best, And the words that I said, son, 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. I'll go back to Jamaica and lie in the sun But I will play the part of the prodigal son And if my girl loves me, as oft' times before Then 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. And it's no, nay, never No nay never no more Will I play the Wild Rover No never, no more.
