	Story Behind the Song This is ballad that we often ended our live show with, and thought it would be nice to do a recorded version. Here 'tis! Lyrics I've been a wild rover for many the year And I've spent all my 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 chorus And it's No, Nay, Never No, Nay, Never, No more Will I play the wild rover No, never, No more I went into an alehouse I used to frequent I told the landlady my money was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me Nay For custom like yours, I could have every day I took up from my pockets 10 sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes, they lit up with delight, She said I've got whiskey and wines of the best And the words that I spoke they were only in jest I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And when they've caressed me as oft times before Then I never will play the wild rover no more
