Thread Name: Alternative words for the Wild Rover??
Subject: RE: Alternative words for the Wild Rover??
Kathleen, I too heard the same version on a folk song album in 1967. I also wish to hear this group of songs again. You wrote "lyrics were: I am a rover down from Dover. I am a rover, bold and free. I am a friend to all the women still, there’s only one for me..." Don't know if Whisky Nancy was in the same song or another. Also on the same album were Loch Lomand, Gypsy Davy, Raggle Taggle Gypsies, and more. Is there a musicologist out there who can locate this album compilations of songs that was pre 1967?
