- THE WILD ROVER
I've been a wild rover for many's a year
And I've 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
Chorus:
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 alehouse that I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay
Such a custom as yours I can have any day"
Then out of my pockets I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I said, they were only in jest"
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress me as oft times before
Then I never will play the Wild Rover no more
Pete’s humility, sitting facing them with his back to us, so completely captures that man’s soul….🙏🎶
in 1967, several of us attended a concert at constitution hall in washington, dc. we wore wool sweaters, and moments before curtain time an announcement was made that one of the borthers had left his at the motel, and would anyone in the audience be willing to provide a certain size. 'exactly!', one of my companions responded, and one of the brothers wore his sweater for the performance. one of the young women in our small group, the daughter of a prominent dc physician with every kind of connection, had ascertained where liam was likely to go after the concert. we got there before there was anything of a crowd. actually, no one seemed to expect him. well, when liam walked in, mary the daughter of the doctor, walked up to hin and said in a matter of fact but alluring voice: 'we'd like you to sit with us.' indeed, he did. we passed several hours in our cozy both, listening to liam recite irish stories and poetry, and once or twice rising to sing a song on request from someone in the establishment. it came time to take liam to his lodgings, as he was inebriated - or by irish standards, approaching such state. we drove him to a holiday inn at capitol circle - does that location still exist? lo, his brothers and tommy makem show up,tommy a non-drinker, the only one of the boys nearly sober. a mini concert takes place. it seems for having brought liam home safe.
Amazing story thank you for sharing. You lived the life.
What a great story!!!

Liam's smile both at the line, "such a custom as the Clancys" and then again at, "and the words that I said, Liam, were only in jest" is great. I keep watching this over and over.
Yes, I love how the landlady changes from addressing Liam by his last name when she thinks that he has no money to his first name when she sees that he has plenty of money.
I'm 34 and this is wonderful. Love Irish music
It doesn't get any better than this! Tommy Makem, Liam and Paddy Clancy, and Pete Seeger. The golden age of folk music!
I were checking the comments because as the video started I saw the back of the fella and thought it must be Pete Seeger.
I remember my 3 year old son visiting his brother's primary school with our new baby- stood up on a table and sang this all the way through. I didn't know whether to laugh or hide in a corner!!
I was in a backroom with my uncle and father and the Clancy bros, I was about 7 at the time. They were jamming out and I was all bored and wanted to leave... I was such a dumb kid, that was a once in a lifetime experience.
+rankalot Would you give younger you a smack across the back of the head for being dumb kid.
I was a crazy kid too
But you did, and still remember that time, kids get bored easy it's not any childs fault
The brothers knew a good Aran wool jumper. Never have you felt a warmer nor itchyer material in all of your days
To Be Sure
That was the best!!! Always loved the Clancy Brothers - and Tommy Makem. My daughters grew up listening to them and watching their Dad try to do the Irish Jig! 50 years later, we still love to listen.
this song always takes me back to primary school when the principal would come in and sing with us for a while. We would always sing sea shantys and folk music.
today is the first st,patrick's day without my father.He passed away 4 months ago on nov.10,2011.I miss him very much,but i'll always have good memories of him. He loved all the irish songs
Sigh.. Daddy, wherever you are, Happy Saint Patrick's Day. xo
Came here because I was thinking of my dad x
Pat mine died in jail 35 years ..
he's in a good place now looking down on you , head up high
my grandparents from Scotland used to sing this all the time.I'm so glad that they passed this song down to me. i sing this song with my father all the time
You can’t compare the Dubliners to the Clancys. The Clancys revived all the traditional Irish songs and brought them back to Ireland. They paved the way for all the bands that followed. I love the Dubliners, they have their own slant on things but I think they would be the first to agree that the Clancys started it all off.
The dubs themselves revere the Clancy’s, the giant who’s shoulders they stood on
Interestingly, this version of the wild rover was pretty much put together by Luke Kelly- so the influence wasn't just one way
The Clancy's were more than OK. the Dubliners were better musicians though, and Luke was the outstanding singer of these two outfits.
The Clancys were leprechauns
Yeah, much better said but I thought in short that you can't compare anyone to the Clancys.
What a treat!!! This is from the first episode of a 1965-1966 television show hosted by Pete Seeger called "Rainbow Quest". The series lasted 39 episodes, was funded by Pete Seeger and broadcast on a UHF station that broadcast to a small audience.
"Nice Sweaters." - Inside Llewyn Davis, what a gem of a movie.
The Clancy Brothers can be credited with the resurgence of "traditional Irish music". . . in Ireland.Met Liam years ago at a pub in Youghal A great honor..
What a mind blowing performance ! Those men play on another league where class is included by default
Clancy's and Tommy are the absolute peak folk band for me. So great.
ANYTHING by this group is the best! I just wish they were still the age they are in this video instead of all gone.
An old favourite. The Clancy Brothers were very popular in our home in England. We were a mixture of Ireland and Scottish though the Irish blood is greater than the Scottish! 7 out of 8 great grandparents from Ireland
Reminds me of country-and-western.....
I love it.
Great song , 👍 pleased to say my wife is an Irish citizen , so still a member of the EU which means we can go to Europe for more than 90 days.👍
I love the way that Tommy Makem acts out the way that the landlady opens her eyes wide with delight at 1:42.
That's not Tommy Makem, that's Liam Clancy
That’s Liam
I grew up listening to these guys...wherever you may be ...happy st patricks day
I grew up with them too.
First Irish boy band 😜😀 ☘️☘️💚💚💚💚💚
No, Nay, Never will there ever be a better Irish group.
This is a great song. Not their best song, but an essential night of drinking song.
My absolute favorite is Jug of Punch
This video is a gem. What a great group.
I grew up with these boys. I know all of the songs by heart.
I love them, more than the Dubliners! I could listen their music all the day!
this brings back some lovely memories. We don't have any good chorus songs now. Bring them back Folkies. We all like a good sing
Great harmonies!
60 years later in Canada, my heart fills...
my favorite song of theirs. No one else can do it as well.
I like their Irish accent very much. Liam Clancy was a great singer and a poet
One word...Wonderful!
That's Pete Seeger introducing them! What a sweet post, THANKS!
i just love this sing along!!! it is a blast when you have the crowd singing!!
A song I love singing to my wee grandson.
I love this song, "1,2,3,4 No ne never no more"
The brothers knew a good Aran wool jumper. Never have you felt a warmer nor itchyer material in all of your days
This looks to be a segment, of an episode of Pete Seeger's self financed PBS folk music show, Rainbow Quest.
There's such harmony with Val Doonican singing l enjoy it 2:47
Aye, fetch me a bottle a whiskey! Ah gonna get me-self drunk. Dis is me jam, brethren.
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
And I've spent all me 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 alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay"
"Such a custom as yours I can have every day"
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never no more
I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best"
And the words that you tolt me 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 home to my parents, confess what I'd done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And when they've caressed me as ofttimes before
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
Sitting with his back to us is Pete Seeger. You may have heard of him, too.

Brilliant ❤❤❤❤❤
Timeless and class.
Guid man Vito for the upload ++++++

"An old Australian song" ❤
Pete Steger! Clancy Brothers! kool. love ya Ukulele Atlanta Holly Family
I wish I could make out what the Clancy brothers were saying after Tommy Makem signs "Then out of me pockets I took sovereigns bright..." They said something that made Tommy crack a smile at 1:36
“And the landlady’s eyes opened with delight”and that’s Liam
Thanks for posting this..........awesome.
CLASSIC Clancy's...w/ Tommy & Pete Seeger of course :) (circa 1963)
beautiful
A wonderful performance. I didn't know it as an australian song.
I just commented about that. I think it was an inside joke of sorts referring to the Irishmen imprisoned in Australia. I could be wrong.
Pete Seegers’s show from 55-60 years ago. One more good voice. That is one long necked banjo that Tommie is playing.
is fantastic.. :)
Great clip of a young Pete Seeger at the end.
The guy interviewing them has such a major hard on for thr Clancy brothers - it’s unreal
Today Commemorates Tommy Makem's 85th Birthday
the Clancy brothers played the very first Cambridge folk festival .
My cousin Jim sang this n played the banjo when h was young
Home-made music !!!
Awesome!
Einfach Klasse!
He sounded just like Bob Marley t he christe brother
no never no more!!
Das erinnert an Jugendtage....
Just so people know the song is English from the 17th century and was brought to Australia in the 19th century from English sailor's its not Australian it comes from a song called the green bed
Soggy Sumz a Meeeeeetchezzzzzzz🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
It's a real tragedy that the Clancys and Tommy M never made a serious attempt to make it big here in England. I know they once played to a sellout audience at London's Royal Albert Hall, but that's about it, they were soon back off to America and Ireland again, so not many people in England had heard of them, more's the pity.
The Fureys,Chieftains and Dubliners were big in England, the great Ronnie Drew belting out 'Seven Drunken Nights' took the English charts by storm..:)
Tungsten Kid probably because England oppressed Ireland for hundreds of years and still is.
The Prusso-Hungarian Empire - you're living in the past mate,your quarrel is with the English fat cat politicians of long ago who are all dead and gone. They oppressed the ordinary english people just as much, for example victorian england was a grim poverty-stricken place.
Yeah it was but Ireland had mass starvation and genocide when did england ever impose that on its own people. And if all of them are gone why are there two Ireland's?
The Prusso-Hungarian Empire - Like I said, you're living in the past when the english politicians went around invading half the countries in the world.And don't forget that the Irish are far from squeaky-clean themselves, they used to plant bombs in England that blew up men women and children, such as in 1990 when a bomb rattled our windows and woke up our cat in Leicester, what cheek! The English never planted bombs in Ireland or anywhere else..:)
But the great english people don't blame the great Irish people for it, we know it was just a few psycho IRA nutters who did it..:)
As for Northern Ireland, they know which side their bread is buttered on, that's why they want to be part of the mighty UK along with England Scotland and Wales..:)
Actually northern Ireland doesn't want to be part of the UK as shown by recent polls.
If someone gives this a dislike they must hate music... wow
Thank you John Kraft, the best friend rover an O'Brien could ask for.
Classic :)
Still have the LP with this and others.
no nay never nooo moreeee
Wait, in the very beginning did he say this was an "old Australian song" is that a little nod to all the Irishmen imprisoned in Australia?? I would assume so.
Yup I think so
Yes. That's what he said. I wondered the same thing.
@IJK hey Aussie friend how's life? You should look into E. Michael Jones he says basically the exact same thing
In my opinion this so much more better than The Dubliners. Don't get me wrong I love The Dubliners, I just like the style of this particular song better by this band.
One two, three, four....
🍀
This song is now a staple on every St Patrick's day in America
The only video on here ive seen where Tommy Makem is playing the Merlin banjo he had
classic
yeah boys
RIP
Happy National Junk Food Day in 2024!
O ye deerty .....
There is a dirty version out in Ireland with 10 years now so I cant sing it as i could break into the other one
4 claps? Yes their Irish.
Happy St Patricks Day.
damn old Longfellow :D
This is so much better than the Dubliners :)
+Jack Cunningham hey =(
+luis pigurina Different,, yes better? maybe., but that is just an opinion.
Oh no, people have opinions, the sky's falling!
Don't you blaspheme in here.
mmmmmm no
It's a really close one, but if I had to name a top Irish singer between Luke Kelly and Tommy Makem, I would pick Tommy Makem.
Just glanced up. Isn't that Pete?
+Sandra Jakum Aye, thas Pete Seeger oer der
never say never
nice
@solodatemaru yeah sovereigns was a british high denomination
