Heard this song at every German Beer Festival when I was stationed there during the Cold War. Didn't know it was Irish until I walked into an Irish pub in West Berlin and learned otherwise. Perhaps the best beer drinking song ever.
There's something of an irony here as this is actually a C17 English 'alehouse ballad' warning of the dangers of strong drink. The Dubliners learnt this version either from Norfolk traditional singer Sam Larner or more likely from English singer Louis Killen in Newcastle in 1960 (Luke Kelly frequented his folk club). They recorded it in 1963 released it as a single and had a big chart hit in 1964. Prior to this the song was virtually unknown in Ireland and now everyone thinks it is a traditional Irish drinking song. But it ain't.
The last time I went over to Ireland, I went to Murrays restaurant,at the top of O'Connell Street in Dublin. That's where I heard the Wild Rover for the first time. Brilliant song. God bless Ireland, from a Welshman with Irish ancestry 🇨🇮.
Oh, my case is even worse.I have no.Irish ancestry, and even so, I feel Irish. I asked the doctor if I should take medication for it, and he said, why take medication, whith so much good Irish whiskey available?.....And so I did, and so I do.Cheers.
Preciosa canción que escuché en algunos maravillosos pub Irlandeses. Sus paisajes y a su gente siempre las llevaré en mi corazón. Gracias Irlanda desde España🇪🇸 🇨🇮🥰🥰
@@Mas233 the clapping keeps everyone on pace when you don't have instruments. Also it's great fun to clap, stomp and pound on tables when you're out drinking with your friends. It's still fun drinking and singing songs such as these with strangers.
It's same as everywhere else these days. Mass tourism and social networking makes it feel the same unless you're going on your own into the country to explore. Then yes to an extent.
Lyrics: Verse 1 (Paddy Reilly) I've been a wild rover for many's a year. I spent all my money on whiskey and beer. Now I'm returning with gold in great store. And I never will play the wild rover no more. Chorus (All) And it's no nay never. No nay never no more. Will I play the wild rover. No never no more. Verse 2 (Ronnie Drew) I went into an alehouse I used to frequent. And I told the landlady, my money was spent. I asked her credit, she answered me nay. "Such a custom as yours I can have any day." Chorus (All) And it's no nay never. No nay never no more. Will I play the wild rover. No never no more. Verse 3 (Sean Cannon) I took out of my pockets, ten sovereigns bright. And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight. She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best. And the words that you told me were only in jest." Chorus (All) And it's no nay never. No nay never no more. Will I play the wild rover. No never no more. Verse 4 (Jim McCann) I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done. I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son. If the caress me as oft times before. The I never will play the wild rover no more. Chorus (All) 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.
Whisky and Irish songs (or sometimes Scottisch) I like them both. It is a pitty that so much Dubliners are passed by. But I still listen their music and sings every day!

the song actually does originate from england but has been adopted by Ireland a lot too.

Holland also loves this song (and the Irish people)
The cloggy's also
According to eoghan o Neill it’s rude to say Holland if your addressing the entire country so do it again and your dead up Blackburn on fifa 20 btw x
@@danieloglesby4476 as a Dutchman i can say it is not rude to call it Holland
@@danieloglesby4476 utter and complete nonsense, LOL
@@Sabouma28 Daniel's being silly. And as a Dutchman, I grew up with these sounds too.

The Irish brought their music to America. And we all love it.

My surname is Banks. I am the fruit of Italian and Irish immigrants to America. But when I listen to songs like this, I become pure O'Sullivan again.
Ich Liebe sie!!!!!
How can all these people possible stay seated like that on this song? I would be dancing and singing thru the ceiling!
I've never drunk alcohol but i love this Irish song ! And I love "I'll Tell Me Ma" too ...
show me the one who wouldn't stand up and dance ... ❤
This song reminds me of my grandad so much. It’s his funeral tomorrow 🙁
So strange how much better I sing after a couple glasses of beer.
Just an awesome some!
Sing this at Ewood popped up fantastic!!! Rovers theme song
Hermoso
Great!!
I once read the voice of Ronnie Drew (second verse, grey beard and glasses) sounds like what you'd imagine if a coffee grinder had a voice.
there is simply nothing like the gravely voice of Ronnie Drew.
come to norway! please! We love you guys!
most of these men are no longer among us....
Im not irish, not even british but love this!
Great
I love you because you are you,autentic❤
Bravo! On participe avec les tripes!
