N.C. And it's no nay never N.C. No nay never no more N.C. Will I play the wild rover N.C. No never no more Instrumental: Verse I've been a wild rover for many's a year And I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer And 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 Instrumental Verse I went to an alehouse I used to frequent And I told the landlady, my money was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me, "Nay Such a custom as yours I could have any day" And it's no nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more Verse Then out of my pockets I took sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She says, "I have whiskey and wines of the best And the words that I spoke 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 Instrumental Verse I go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I ask them to pardon their prodigal son And if they caress 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 And it's no nay never No nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more N.C. And it's no nay never N.C. N.C. No nay never no more N.C. Will I play the wild rover N.C. No never no more
