Dubliners, The - I'm A Rover Lyrics

A rover from Germany, drinking and thinking, best friends forever. Love you Rebbeca.

when your buddy goes to the bar to tell a girl that one of the lads likes her, and she says "which one?" and then the guy points over to the table and all the boys are sat smirking like this photo!!!.

I feel like jumping into this video and dance whith the band, it's just so addictive. Sorry if I sound ignorant.

My Dad said Luke Kelly looked like a jerk..... but he was great

Are ya having a laff?

Ladies & Gentlemen of the year 2018, may I present: real music

There's ne'er a nicht I'm gang tae ramble, there's ne'er a nicht I'm gang tae roam
There's ne'er a nicht I'm gang tae ramble, intae the erms of me ain true love

So slow, it sounds like a dirge. Great Big Sea makes Rover so much better to listen to.

I agree, but they have their own feelings to them. I like to listen to this one when I'm smoking.

The Dubliners were the Pogues 20 years before the Pogues.

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

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

Salute to all Irish people from Turkey.

Beardy as s***,

I like!

The Dubliners, The pougues. Who are the best? It does not matter. Everyone has their opinion. Just enjoy both.

I can't agree with you. With out doubt the Dubliners are the best! But Luke Kelly are the Singer's Master of the all the times. Ok?

Luke is the best 

@itfamkefanwinaam agree

For this song I think great big sea has the best version

@Patrick Bartlett lukes version is the best yer man singing for the great big sea sounds like a cat crawled up his arse.

+Patrick Bartlett Great 
Big Sea is alright, but Luke's version of this song is far superior.

James Grange He probably doesn't know who Luke is honestly

Absolutely. The crowds don't sleep through Great Big Sea's cover. It's absolutely more fun.

He stepped to her bedroom WINDAY
Leaning gently upon a STAIN
He whispered through her bedroom WINDAY
My darling dear do you lie ALAIN

Best way to pronounce those words :D

Ash Kelly LOVE this song it bring back memories

Windae, stane, alane, it's scots. It split of from old English. Of course these guys are Irish, just kinda doing an accent.

What I would do to have been able to live in their time and see them sing.

I saw one version of these fabulous people back in 82, loved it so very much but it wasn't quite the best line up. No Luke.

Dubliners forever! Pogues forever! I think the problem is Bonos voice:)

This is the Dubliners, dude.
The Pogues aren’t even worthy of holding these guy’s instruments.

Pogues ??????????

Brilliant

Thanks for this... been a fan of the Pogues for a little while and I'm just getting into these guys... what can I say, their songs make me happy :)
