Paddy Reilly – The Wild Rover

Paddy Reilly – The Wild Rover Lyrics

Artist: Paddy Reilly
Song: The Wild Rover

I’ve been a wild rover for many’s the year
I’ve spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I’m returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

And it’s no, nay, never
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
I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me, “Nay
Such a custom as yours I can have any day”

And it’s no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight
She says, “I have whiskeys and wines of the best”
And the words that she told me were only in jest

And it’s no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, 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 when they’ve caressed me as oft’ times before
Then I never will play the wild rover no more

And it’s no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

And it’s no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
