The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem performing “I Never Will Play the Wild Rover No More” on Rainbow Quest with Pete Seeger (1st Episode)
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 never will play the wild rover no more
And it’s no, nay, never
1, 2, 3, 4
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I went into an alehouse where I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me “nay
Such a custom as the Clancys I can get any day”
And it’s no, nay, never
1, 2, 3, 4
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
Then out of me 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 said Liam were only in jest”
And it’s no, nay, never
1, 2, 3, 4
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 if they caress (forgive) me as oft-times before
Then I never will play the wild rover no more
And it’s no, nay, never
1, 2, 3, 4
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
