The Wild Rover

I've been a wild rover for many's the year

And I've squandered my money on whiskey and beer

But the songs that I sang and the nights that I knew

Left a hole in my heart I could never undo

For the laughter would fade with the coming of dawn

And the faces I met were soon dead and gone

Now I'm weary and broken my wandering's through

I'll return to the home where love's ever true

No nay never! No nay never no more

Will I play the wild rover no never no more

I'll mend all my ways and knock on their door
