    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble, there's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to roam
    There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble, intae the erms of me ain true love
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    Though the nicht be as dark as dungeon, not a star can be seen above
    I will be guided without a stumble, intae the erms of my ane true love
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    He stepped up tae her bedroom winday, kneeling gently upon a staine
    He whispers through her bedroom winday, my darling dear do you lie alaine
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    She raised her head from her down soft pillow, threw her erms around her breasts
    Says: ”Who is that at my bedroom winday is 'sterbing me at my long nicht's rest?”
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    Says I: ”My love it's I thy true lover, open the door and let me in
    For I have come on a long nights journey more than near drenched to my skin”
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    She opened the door wi' the greatest pleasure, she opened the door and she let him in
    They both shook hands and embraced each other, until the morning they lay as one
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    The cocks were crawin', the birds were whistlin'
    The burns they ran free abune the brae;
    "Says I my lass, I'm a ploughman laddie
    And the fairmer I must obey."
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    Says I: My love I must go and leave you, to climb the hills they are far above
    But I will climb wi' the greatest pleasure, since I've been in the arms of my love
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company

      I agree. My grandparents came over in the early 1900’s. I have often thought how brave they were to leave home knowing they would never return. They both passed in my late teens or early twenties. So I wasn’t old enough to realize what they gave up. 💚☘️💚☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

    This is amazing. A few of these songs seem to be twinned: The Night Visiting Song is less raucous, more gentle and romantic than I'm A Rover but Luke's thrown both sets of lyrics together here, probably sensing that it's essentially the same narrative story.
    What a great band they were. Barney's playing is amazing here while Luke is in total control.

      Most of the banjo is Lukes 5 string but Barneys banjo is there in the background. Sounds absolutely magical. Love this song

      Yes Barney was probably the best banjo player in Ireland as well as Luke if you listen to the shoals of herring you can hear Luke his banjo sort of is like his voice when the high notes he hits the banjo does the same but if he is singing in a deeper key it is the same with the banjo I lovely instrument and I am glad I have take it off myself

    There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble, there's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to roam
    There's ne'er a nicht I'm gane to ramble, intae the erms of me ain true love
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    Though the nicht be as dark as dungeon, not a star can be seen above
    I will be guided without a stumble, intae the erms of my ane true love
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    He stepped up tae her bedroom winday, kneeling gently upon a staine
    He whispers through her bedroom winday, my darling dear do you lie alaine
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    She raised her head from her down soft pillow, wi' her erms around her breasts
    Says: ”Why is that that my bedroom winday is 'sterbing me at my long nicht's rest?”
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    Says I: ”My love it's I thy true lover, open the door and let me in
    For I have come on a long nights journey more than near drenched to my skin”
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    She opened the door wi' the greatest pleasure, she opened the door and she let him in
    They both shook hands and embraced each other, until the morning they lay as one
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    The cocks were crawin', the birds were whistlin',The burns they ran free abune the brae:
    Remember lass, I'm a ploughman laddie And the fairmer I must obey.
    I'm a rover, seldom sober, I'm a rover of high degree
    It's when I'm drinkin' I'm always thinkin' how to gain my love's company
    Says I: My love I must go and leave you, to climb the hills they are far above
    But I will climb wi' the greatest pleasure, since I've been in the arms of my love

    There are definitely a lot of similarities. Both songs are of Scottish origin and the subject and the words used in both songs are quite similar. Both great songs though.
