The Wild Rover — текст песни (Shane McGowan)

I`ve been a wild rover for many`s the year
And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
but now I`m returning with gold in great store
and I promise to 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

but I went to an ale house I used to frequent
and I told the landlady me money`s all spent
but I asked her for credit she answered me nay
sure a custom like 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 lent from my pocket I took sovereigns bright
and the landlady`s legs opened wide with delight
she says I have whiskey and wines of the best
and the words that I spoke were to ya only in jest

And it`s no nay never
no nay never no more
will I play the wild rover
no never no more
but I`ll go home to my parents confess what I`ve done
and I`ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
and if they`ll embraced me as oft times before
I promise to 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..
