But now I'm re-turning with gold in great store
      G          C             D        G
And I never will play the Wild Rover no more

[Chorus]

I went to an ale house I used to fre-quent & I told the land-lady me money was spent
  G             G           G            C  C
I asked her for credit, she answered me “nay,
       G         C           D       G
Such a custom as yours I can get any day.” . . .

I brought from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
        G          C           D            G d e f#
And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with de-light
    G            Em          G            C   C
She said “I have whiskeys & wines of the best
        G            C             D       G
And the words that I told you were only in jest.”. . .

“You can keep all your whiskey & your beer likewise too
    G           C          D             G d e f#
For not another penny am I spending with you
        G          Em        G           C    C
For the money I’ve got, I’m taking good care
      G          C             D        G
And I never will play the Wild Rover no more.”

And it's no, nay, never (clap x 4), no, nay, never,

No more, will I play the Wild Rover, no, never, no more.
