\begin{verse}
Ive \chord{D}been a wild rover for many a \chord{G}year, \\
I \chord{D}spend all my money on \chord{A}whiskey and beer. \\
But now Im returning with gold in great \chord{G}store \\
and I \chord{D}never will play the wild \chord{A}rover no \chord{D}more.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
And its \chord{A}no, nay, never, no nay \chord{D}never no \chord{G}more \\
will I \chord{D}play the wild \chord{G}rover no \chord{D}never, \chord{A}no \chord{D}more.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
I went to an ale-house where I used to frequent, \\
and I told the landlady my money was spent, \\
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay, \\
such a custom of yours I can have any day.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
And its no, nay, never...
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
I took from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright, \\
and the landladys eyes opened wide with delight. \\
She said I have whiskey and wines of the best \\
and the words that I said sure were only in jest.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
And its no, nay, never...
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
Ill go home to my parents, confess what Ive done, \\
Ill ask them to pardon their prodigal son, \\
and if they caress me as oft times before, \\
then I never will play the wild rover no more.
\end{verse}
\begin{verse}
And its no, nay, never…
\end{verse}
