Thread Name: Alternative words for the Wild Rover??
Subject: RE: Alternative words for the Wild Rover??
from the LeGrande Twins album -

I walked into the shanty I used to fre-quent
and I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!
Such a custom as yours I can get every day!"

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 will do so as they've done before
Then I never shall play the Wild Rover no more
