Howard Jones Alternative words for the Wild Rover?? (103* d) RE: Alternative words for the Wild Rover?? 30 May 14


I sing the Sam Larner version (which is on VOTP and can be heard on Spotify). It's a slower, more thoughtful version which brings out that it's really a temperance song about giving up drinking and wild behaviour, something the well-known jolly sing-along chorus version somehow obscures.
