Songtext von Wild Rover

I've been a wild rover for many's the 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 into an alehouse I used to frequent And I told the landlady my money was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me nay, Such custom as yours 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 I took from my pocket ten euros bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She says I'd have whiskies and wines of the best And the words that she told me 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 home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And when they've caressed 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 (c) Folkaholics (traditional)
