NO NAY NEVER

additional lyrics by

Matt McGinn

 

I’ve been a wild rover for many’s a year

I spent all my money on whisky 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 nay never, no more

 

I went to a toilet I used to frequent

I told the attendant me penny was bent

I asked him for credit, but he shook his mitt

Says he, ‘No nay never, you can’t have credit’

 

And it’s no nay never

No nay never, no more

Will I play the wild rover

No nay never, no more

 

I drew from me pockets sovereigns bright

Says he, ‘Well, I’ll make an exception tonight'

But as he turned his key, I just gave him a glare

Says I, ‘Well, I’ll just take my business elsewhere’

 

And it’s no nay never

No nay never, no more

Will I play the wild rover

No nay never, no more

 

I’ll go home to my father, confess what I’ve done

And I’ll ask him to pardon his prodigal son

I’ll put gold in his pocket, I’ll build him a barn

Then I’ll buy him a topcoat to keep his bum warm

 

And it’s no nay never

No nay never, no more

Will I play the wild rover

No nay never, no more
