The version the House band do is very minor chord oriented and slightly darker sounding. However I think I've managed to figure out a few more chords so here's hoping! Cheers for looking though. muppitz x |

They [HB] call their version "Wild Roving". I will keep looking, but don't hold yer breath. If you can find an mp3 somewhere, I will do my best for ya with the chording. |

22 Feb 06 - 12:54 PM (#1676005) Subject: RE: Chords Req: House band vers'n Wild Rover From: GUEST,DannyC An excellent (alternate) version of the popular - Wild Rover - was recorded by the Co Kerry-native Andy O'Brien in his "The Irish Tradition" (O'Brien/McComiskey/Mulvihill) days. I believe it predates The House Band recording by a decade or so. Andy sings it unaccompanied (at least, that's what I hear in my head). I will seek to dig it out and post it here. "The Tradition" were pretty good about crediting sources in their liner notes. I'll post any remarks as well. |

This is the first time that The House Band recorded a normally upbeat song at a slower tempo. In some cases, it works. However, in this first attempt, while Ged Foley's singing is fine, the song drags and loses too much character in the arrangement." Quote from the above site. |

Andy wrote: "This is a lesser known version of the old favorite singalong. I learned it from the singing of Sean Corcoran from Drogheda, County Louth." On "The Irish Tradition - The Times We've Had" he sings it unaccompanied, as follows: "I've played the wild rover for manys the year and I spent all my money drinking strong ale and beer but now for the future I will take better care in case that misfortune shall come to my share == CHORUS == Wild rovin' I'll give it over wild rovin' give o'er and I ne'er shall be called the wild rover no more I went into an alehouse where I used to resort and I told the landlady my money it was short and the answer that she gave me - well the answer was nae such a custom as yours I can get anyday == CHORUS == I put my hand in my pocket my money for to find and I drew out the full of my two hands five times when she saw I had money and money galore when she saw I had money - she called me her stór then she said I have liquors and strong ales of the best and the words that I told her were only in jest == CHORUS == My false-hearted landlady I might bid you adieu and that you might be hanged without stockings or shoes I'll go home to my father like the prodigal son and it's there I'll confess all the wrongs that I've done == CHORUS == If I had all the money that I left in your care it would till all my land and my family rare it would thatch all my houses - it would build me a bawn it would buy me a coat for to keep my back warm == CHORUS == == CHORUS == (NOTE: My apologies in advance for the inevitable errors, after all, I'm a feckin' Yank.) |

He sang it in Dublin's Vicar Street last Sunday with mighty group "Ushers Island" & lots of differences in words he used from other versions I have heard |
