Wild Rover - Traditional Folk song

I've been a wild rover for manys a year
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay, never
*clap clap clap clap*
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

Well, I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me “Nay,
Such custom as yours I could have any day”

And it's no, nay, never
*clap clap clap clap*
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

I then took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened up with delight
She says “I have whiskeys and wines of the best,
And the words that I told you were only in jest.”

And it's no, nay, never
*clap clap clap clap*
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

I'll come home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll beg them to pardon their prodigal son
And once they've caressed me as ofttimes before
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay, never
*clap clap clap clap*
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

And it's no, nay, never
*clap clap clap clap*
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more
