the wild rover (live in dublin) - lankum lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve been a wild rover for many’s a year
and i’ve spent half me money drinking strong ale and beer
but now for the future i must take better care
in case that misfortune might come to my share

[chorus]
wild rovin’ i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give o’er
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more

[verse 2]
i went into an alehouse i used to resort
and i told the landlady that my money was short
when she heard of my story, oh her answer twas “nay”
sayin’ “custom such as yours i could have any day”

[chorus]
wild rovin’ i’ll givе it over
wild rovin’ give o’er
and i nеver will be called the
wild rover no more

[verse 3]
i put my hand in my pocket, some money to find
and i pulled out the full of my two fists five times
when she saw i had the money
and money galore
when she saw i had the money
well she called me her stór
saying “i have the whiskey and wines of the best
all the words i have spoken, they were only in jest”
[chorus]
wild rovin’ i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give o’er
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more

[verse 4]
if i had half the money i left in your care
it would buy me ten acres and my family rear
it would thatch me a cottage, it would build me a barn
it would buy me a coat fur to keep my back warm

[chorus]
wild rovin’ i’ll give it over
wild rovin’ give o’er
and i never will be called the
wild rover no more
