And here's another version, from the book "Folksongs of Britain and Ireland", ed. Peter Kennedy, first published 1975, my copy dated 1984, Oak Publications:

THE WILD ROVER
(from the singing of Gabriel Figg, West Chiltington, Sussex, recorded by P. Kennedy 1953)

I have [Bb]played the wild [F]rover for many's [Bb]a [F]year
I've [C7]spent all my [F]money on 'bacco and [C]beer
I've [F]done it be[Bb]fore, but I'll [F]do it no [Bb]more
I [F]never will [Bb]play the wild [C7]rover no [F]more

Chorus:
Then I'll say: [C]Nay, [G7]no, [C]never, [F]never, [F7]no [Bb]more
I [F]never will [Bb]play the wild [F]rover [C7]no [F]more

I called into an alehouse where I frequently went
I told the landlady my money I'd spent
I called for a pot, but she answered me: nay
We have plenty of custom like yours every day
And she said...

I put me hand in my pocket, so manly and bold
And up on the counter threw silver and gold
O stay, sir, O stay, I was only in jest
I've ale and I've rum and I've brandy the best
But I said...

I'll go home to my parents as I oft ought t'ave done
And I'll ask them to pardon this prodigal son
If they will forgive me which they've oft done before
I never will play the wild rover no more
Then I'll say...

If I'd all the money I'd left in your care
I would buy a great saddle to ride the grey mare
I'd save all my money, get it up in great store
And I'll be a wild rover, wild rover no more
And I'll say...

So now I'll give over and I'll lead a new life
And I'll stop all my ramblings and look for a wife
I'll pay up back reckonings, put my money in store
And I never will play the wild rover no more
And so I'll say...
