The Parting Glass (2016) |
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 in to an alehouse I used to frequent |
And I told the landlady me money was spent |
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay |
Such a customer as you 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 up 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 you 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 |
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 |
