Red Vanguard - The Wild Rover Lyrics

I've been a wild rover this many a-year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never shall play the wild rover no more
And it's no, no, never
Never, no more
I never, never, never
Shall play the wild rover no more
I dropt into a shanty I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, but she answered me"Nay
Such custom as yours I can get ev'ry day"
And it's no, no, never
Never, no more
I never, never, never
Shall play the wild rover no more
Then I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
Said she"I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I told you were only in jest"
And it's no, no, never
Never, no more
I never, never, never
Shall play the wild rover 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 if they will do so as often before
Then I never shall play the wild rover no more!
And it's no, no, never
Never, no more
I never, never, never
Shall play the wild rover no more
