Les paroles de la chanson
« The wild rover »
Soldat Louis

I’ve been a wild rover for many’s the yea
And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
But now I’m returning with gold in great store
And I promise to play The Wild Rover no more

REFRAIN

And it’s no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play The Wild Rover
No never no more
I went to an Ale House I used to fequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit she answered me nay
Such custom as your I can have any day

REFRAIN

I took from me pocket 10 Sovereigns Bright
And the landlady’s legs opened wide with delight
She said iI have wiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke were only in Jest

REFRAIN

I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve done
And I’ll ask them to pardon the prodigal son
And when they’ve embrassed me as oft times before
I promise to play The Wild Rover no more

REFRAIN
