Story behind the song
this used to be very popular in the 60s around oz. lionel long did this version of it which i learned as a thoroughly enchanted teen-ager and have sung with undiminished affection ever since.
Lyrics
i've been a wild rover for many's the year and i've spent all my 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 ref: and it's no nay never no nay never no more i never never never shall play the wild rover no more i went into a shanty i used to frequent and i told the land lady me money was spent i asked her for credit, she answered me nay such a custom as yours i can get every day ref: i then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright and the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight she said i have whiskey and wines of the best and the words that i uttered were only in jest ref: i'll go home to my parents, confess what i've done and i'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son and when they've caressed me as oft-times before well i never shall play the wild rover no more ref
