Curse my Irish skin!

ive gotten blistered shoulders and arms before (im irish too)

i just was all gimped out for 2 or 3 days

when they went away, they covered my upper back and upper arms in freckles, which have since somewhat faded (this was like 6 years ago)

you cant do much but stay out of the sun

(my blisters grew for 2 days after i got burned i had one on my right arm that was 1 1/2 in x 3 in, it was foul!)
 
CHORUS

And it's no nay never (4 claps)

no nay never no more (2 claps)

will I play the wild rover (1 clap)

No never no more (2 claps)

I've been the wild rover for manys a year

and I spent all my money on whiskey and beer

and now I'm returning with gold in great score

and I never will play the wild rover no more CHORUS

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 as your I can get any day CHORUS

Then out of my pockets I took sovereigns bright

and my landlady's eyes opened wide with delight

She said, "I have whiskey and wines of the best!"

but the answer I gave her was only in jest CHORUS

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done

and I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son

and if they caress my as oft times before

than I never will play the wild rover no more CHORUS
