The Wild Rover Lyrics
And it's no, nay, never no, nay, never!
No more will I play the wild rover no, never, no more

This song is great... heh No nay, never

really a great song!! But it remembers me to a german carneval-song...what was first???

this is a cover of a traditional Irish song. does anyone know exactly what wild rover means?

Aye.
The 'wild rover' is the drunk who crawls from pub to pub trying to get another pint when his moneys run dry. The songs about a Rover who comes to his senses, gets his act straight and walks the straight and narrow.
-Priest

Yeah, that makes sense, this song seems so jolly. I heard they made a video for it but I haven't had a chance to see it yet.

BEST DRINKING SONG EVER

this is one of my least favorite traditional songs.

yes, both a german and a flemish carnaval song were based on it, but the irish got it first

This song is freakin' awesome on the Live on St.Patrick's Day album. It's like all their songs are great live.

I particularly liked this song when they got Shane MacGowan(the Pogues) to guest on it.
