And it's no, nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I 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

And it's no, nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more

I went into 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
Such a custom like yours I can't have any day

And it's no, nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more

I then took from my pocket ten souverins bright
And the landlady's eyes opened up with delight
She says I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that you told me were only in jest

And it's no, nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more

And it's no, nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more

I 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
I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no more

And it's no, nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never, no moreCaged
You hold so tight until your knuckles show
Escape
As far away as you could ever know
You sink them all down
And watch them float up
Until the wheel has spun around
You will be bound by what you are

You stand in the corner
With your face stripped of colour
For what?

If you want to be a passenger
Climb aboard with me we抮e leaving now
Step outside and see another world
Only if you want to be a passenger

Chained
So many places you抎 prefer to be
Than framed
By a picket fence and salary
You sink them all down
Then watch them float up
Until the wheel has spun around
You will be bound by who you are

You抮e tied to the corner
With your hope twisted under
In knots

If you want to be a passenger
Climb aboard with me we抮e leaving now
Step outside and see another world
Only if you want to be a passenger
