"No Nay Never" lyrics

I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I swear I'll will play a wild rover no more

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play a 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 but she answered me nay
Said a custom like yours I can have anyday

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play a wild rover, no never no more

Then I took from me pocket a handful of gold
And on the round table it glittered and rolled
Well, the landlady smiled as she served me the best
What I told you before sure it was only in jest

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play a wild rover, no never no more

I'll go home to me parents confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon there prodigal son
And if they'll forgive me as off time before
Well, I never will play a wild rover no more

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play a wild rover, no never no more

And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
Will I play a wild rover, no never no more
