The Town Pants - The Wild Rover lyrics
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 money in great store
 And I never will play the wild rover no more.
 Chorus:
 And it's no, nay, never (ride up his kilt!)
 No, nay, never, 
 No more
 Will I play the wild rover
 No, never, no more!
 I went into an ale-house I used to frequent
 And I told the landlady me money was spent
 I asked her for credit - She ordered me outThe Town Pants - The Wild Rover - http://motolyrics.com/the-town-pants/the-wild-rover-lyrics.html
 "Such a custom as yours I can sure live without".
 (Chorus)
 Then out of my pocket I took sovereigns bright
 And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
 She said, "I have whiskey and wines of the best
 And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest".
 (Chorus)
 I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done
 And they'll open their arms to their prodigal son
 And when they've embraced me as oft-times before
 I never will play the wild rover no more.
 (Chorus)
