**Chords:**
G, C, G, D, G

G               C          G
I've been a wild rover for many a year
        D                        G
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
       G              C                   G
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
        D                     G
And I promise to play the wild rover no more

G                   C             G
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never, no more
       D                          G
Will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more

G                C             G
I went into an alehouse I used to frequent
      D                         G
And I told the landlady my money was spent
      G               C               G
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
         D                          G
Such a custom as yours I can have any day

G                   C             G
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never, no more
       D                          G
Will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more

G                  C                 G
I got sick and tired of my roaming around
      D                          G
And I found myself homeward bound
       G                C                  G
I promised to cherish my money and store
        D                     G
And I swear I will play the wild rover no more

G                   C             G
And it's no, nay, never, no, nay, never, no more
       D                          G
Will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more
