Thanks guys - You've now ruined it for me. Never again will a row around a fjord feel complete without a chance meeting with a boatload of Irish singers.
Ever since I saw you play this and The Bothy Lads live, I've been eagerly waiting for another chance to hear your version of those tracks. It's as beautiful as I remember it - although actually more beautiful. Hits right in my soul and makes me fall in love with music and life that much more.
I heard these lads on RTE 2 days ago and cant stop singing 'I'm a Rover ' since. This video is better than an hours meditation. Can't wait to see them live
I only found you lads a couple of days ago and fell deeply in love with your music. And now I find out you were so close to my hometown... I hope you come back soon and play a show! You have a friend here in Switzerland! Thanks for your music
Thanks for this beautiful video and music! You guys are guardians of centuries of music, poetry and culture, thank you for keeping it alive and evolving with it in the most perfect way.
Exquisite! Your music is an elixir for me - and your videos are a delightful escape from this quarantine situation we find ourselves these days. I’d love to see you in person sometime.
I was very glad to hear this on Saturday, I had to rush off before your Sunday performance but what I heard was fantastic as it was when I heard you 3 years ago in Fire in the mountain, keep up the good work and I look forward to getting a CD.
wow -- if you guys are playing Reusser guitars they sound amazing! -->i'm guessing a field recorder in the canoe and a drone all around? beautiful lyrics too - i had a laugh at "i'm wet right to the skin" feel that brudda
I must away now, I cannot tarry This morning's tempest I have to cross I well be guided without a stumble Into the arms that I love the most I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company At last he came to his true love's dwelling He sat on down there upon a stone And through her window he whispered softly "Is my true lover within at home?" I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company She raised hеr head then fell off hеr pillow She raised the blanket from off her breast And through her window she whispered softly "Who is disturbing me from my night's rest?" I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company Get up, get up, now, it's your true lover Get up, get up, now and let me in For I am weary of my long journey And I am wet right into the the skin I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company She raised her head then fell off her pillow She raised the set and she let him in And they were locked in each other's arms Until the long night was past and gone I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company I'm a rover, seldom sober I'm a rover of high degree It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking How to gain my love's company

I must away now, I cannot tarry
This morning's tempest I have to cross
I well be guided without a stumble
Into the arms that I love the most
I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
At last he came to his true love's dwelling
He sat on down there upon a stone
And through her window he whispered softly
"Is my true lover within at home?"
I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
She raised hеr head then fell off hеr pillow
She raised the blanket from off her breast
And through her window she whispered softly
"Who is disturbing me from my night's rest?"
I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
Get up, get up, now, it's your true lover
Get up, get up, now and let me in
For I am weary of my long journey
And I am wet right into the the skin
I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
She raised her head then fell off her pillow
She raised the set and she let him in
And they were locked in each other's arms
Until the long night was past and gone
I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
I'm a rover, seldom sober
I'm a rover of high degree
It's when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
How to gain my love's company
Except of the refrain, those are the lyrics to "The night visiting song", with a different melody. I was surprised when I found out...
Someone post the lyrics?
Ah lads... Switzerland? And we can't move more than 5k.
Yeah, its mad to think we were there less than a year and a half ago! Still, nice to look back on happy memories. :)
You two are getting me through my dissertation, thank you for your lovely music :-)
