WILD ROVER I've been a Wild Rover for many a year G D G C And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer G C And now I'm returning with gold in great store G D G And I never will play the Wild Rover no more. D And it's no, nay, never G C No nay never no more G C Am Will I play the Wild Rover D G No never, no more. I went to an alehouse I used to frequent And I told the landlady my money was spent I asked her for a Red Stripe, she answered me "nay" She said, "Patrons like you, I can get any day!" And it's no, nay, never.. From out of my pockets I took moneys bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said, "I have Red Stripes, and wines of the best, And the words that I said, son, were only in jest!" And it's no, nay, never.... I'll go back to Jamaica and lie in the sun But I will play the part of the prodigal son And if my girl loves me, as oft' times before Then I never will play the Wild Rover no more. And it's no, nay, never... ___________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________ A Nation Once Again G When boyhoods fire was in my blood C D7 G I read of ancient freemen Em G C For Greece and Rome who bravely stood Am D7 Three hundred men and three men D And then I prayed I might yet see C A7 B7 Our fetters rent in twain C Cm D And Ireland long a province be G D G A nation once again C CHORUS: A nation once again Am D7 A nation once again G Em C D And Ireland long a province be G D G A nation once again And from that time through wildest woe That hope has shone a far light Nor could loves brightest summer glow Outshine that solemn starlight It seemed to watch above my head In forum, field and fane Its angel voice sang round my bed A nation once again CHORUS: It whisperd too that freedoms ark And service high and holy Would be profaned by feelings dark And passions vain or lowly For, freedom comes form Gods right hand And needs a godly train And righteous men must make our land A nation once agian CHORUS: So, as I grew from boy to man I bent me to that bidding My spirit of each selfish plan And cruel passion ridding For, thus I hoped some day to aid Oh, can such hope be vain When my dear country shall be made A nation once again. _______________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Only Our Rivers G D G When apples still grow in November C G D When blossoms still bloom from each tree C G When leaves are still green in December D Bm Em It's then that our land will be free C G I wander her hills and her valleys C D And still through my sorrow I see C G A land that has never know freedom D Bm Em And only her rivers run free I drink to the death of her manhood Those men who'd rather have died Than to live in the cold chains of bondage To bring back thier rights were denied Oh where are you now that we need you What burns where the flame used to be Are ye gone like the snows of last winter And will only our ivers run free How sweet is life but we're crying How mellow the wine but we're dry How fragrant the rose but it's dying How gentle the wind but it sighs What good is in youth when it's aging What joy is in eyes that can't see When there's sorrow in sunshine and laughter And still only our rivers run free ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ WHISKEY IN A JAR G Em As I was going over, Gilgara Mountain, C G I spied colonel Farrel, and his money he was counting. Em At first I drew my pistol, and then I drew my rapier, C G saying: "Stand and deliver, for I am your bold deciver" D7 Musha Ringum Durum Da G Whack Fol the Daddy 'o Em C Whack Fol the Daddy 'o G D7 G there's whiskey in the jar G Em He counted out his money, and it made a pretty penny, C I put it in my pocket, G to take home to darling Jenny, She sighed and swore she loved me, Em and never would decieve me, C but the Devil take the women, G for they always lie so easy Chorus And next morning early, Em before I rose for travel, C a-came a band of footmen, G and likewise Colonel Farrel, I goes to draw my pistol, Em for she had stolen away my rapier, C but a prisoner I was taken, G I couldn't shoot the water Chorus They put into jail, Em with a judge all a writtin'. C Robbin' Colonel Farrel, G on Gilgara Mountain. But they didn't take me fists, Em and I knocked the jailer down, C and bid a farewell G to this tight fisted town Chorus There's some takes delight, Em in the carriages and rollin'. C Some takes delight G in the Hurley or the Bollin' But I takes delight, Em in the juice of the barley, C Courtin' pretty maids G in the mornin', oh so early.
