The Wild Rover
A traditional Irish song - be sure to find someone to clap at the appropriate times (if you don't know where those are, you should drink more Guinness.)
G C I’ve been a wild rover, for many a year G D7 G And I’ve spend all my money on whiskey and beer C But now I’m returning with gold in great store G D7 G And I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
D7 G C And it’s no, ney, never, . . . . . . no, nay, never no more G C G D7 G I will play the wild rover, no never no more
[End Chorus] C I brought up from me pocket ten souvereigns bright G D7 G And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight C She said "I have whiskey and wine’s of the best" G D7 G And the words that you’ve told me were only in jest
[Chorus]
C I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve done G D7 G And I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son C And when they’ve caressed me, as oft times before G D7 G I never will play the wild rover no more
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
