Start Jamming...
[G] I've been a wild rover for many [C] the years
[G] I've spent all me money [D] on whiskey [G] and beer
That's a yes sir
But now I'm earning with gold [C] in great store
[G] And I never [D] will play the wild [G] rover no more
And [D] it's gold, ain't never
[G] Gold ain't never [C] no more
Will [G] I play the [C] wild rover [D] no more
[G] I went into a nail house I used to [C] frequent
I [G] told a landlady me money was spent
Asked her for credit she answered [C] me nay
Such [G] custom as yours I can have any day
And [D] it's gold, nay
[G] Gold ain't never [C] no more
[G]
Gold ain't never no more
Will I play the [C] wild rover
[D] [G]
no more
From my pocket ten [C] sovereigns bride
[G] And the [D] landlady's eyes open wide [G] with delight
She says I have whiskies and the wines of [C] the best
[G] And the words that [D] you told me were [G] only in jest
And it's [D] gold, nay
[G] Gold ain't never [C] no more
Will [G] I play the wild [C] rover [D] no more
I [G]
go home to my parents confess [C] what I've done
[G] And I ask [D] them to pardon [G] their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me as oft times [C] before
[G] Then I never [D] will play the wild rover [G] no more
And [D] it's gold, nay
[G] Gold ain't never [C] no more
Will I [G] play the [C] wild rover [D] no more
[G]
One last time
[D] Gold ain't never
Play [G]
[C]
[G] the [C] wild rover
[D]

[C]
[A] Thank you
