Bubijeva pesmarica

I’ve Gbeen a wild rover for many the Cyear
and I Gspent all my Dmoney on whiskey and Gbeer.
But now I’m returning with gold in great Cstore
and I Gnever will Dplay the wild rover no Gmore.

And it’s Dno nay, Gnever, no nay, never, no Cmore
will I Gplay the wild Crover, no Dnever no Gmore.

I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
and I told the landlady my money was spent.
I asked her for credit she answered me “Nay,
suh a custom like yours I could have any day.”

And it’s Dno nay, Gnever, no nay, never, no Cmore
will I Gplay the wild Crover, no Dnever no Gmore.

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
and the landlady’s eyes opene wide with delight.
She said “I have whiskey and wines of the best
and the words that I spoke sure were only in jest.”

And it’s Dno nay, Gnever, no nay, never, no Cmore
will I Gplay the wild Crover, no Dnever no Gmore.

I’ll go to my parents confess what I’ve done
and I’ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And if they caress me as oft times before,
sure I never will play the wild rover no more.
