I learned to sing this song as I was small. My stepfather an englishman taught me. I still know its lyrics off by heart. By the way, why do you always care for favorites?

Wild Rover - the Dubliners

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

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"
"Customs like yours I can have any day"

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says, "You can have whiskeys and wines of the best"
But the words that she spoke were only in jest

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me as oft' times before
Then I never will play the wild rover no more

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

It's Irish though innit?

The Dubliners are famous for singing Irish folk songs, but in this song, they sang in english. The only Irish word, I guess is the word "nay". (:)

Yeah but "English song" means "song from England" and not "song in English", nay?

What I learned in life to never argue with people who can not argue properly. @PxJ
It simply not worth it.
