Ramblin Rover is from Andy Stewart.Nancy Whiskey is more of a morden version of the Carlton Weavers. Red Is The Rose goes aways back. The version I got came from Joe Heaney who said he got it from his grandfather. The tune is almost the same as Makem's. In the chorus he has clear is the water that flows from the stream. The verses are also slighty different from Makem's. Joe also stated that he belived the tune to be Irish and older than Loch Lomond.
