    "The Wild Rover"
    I have been a wild rover this many a year,
    I spent all my money on whiskey and beer.
    But now for the future I'll lay up a store
    And I will not be called the Wild Rover no more.
    I'll go to my father like a dutiful son,
    And I'll ask his forgiveness for what I have done
    And if he forgives me as he oft did before
    I'll never be called the Wild Rover no more.
