The lyrics (but not the chords) are already in the Digital Tradition database: AS I ROVED OUT (2), and posted in a thread called Favorite Betrayal Songs.

I don't think Andy ever claimed ownership of the song (tune or lyrics). There are many wrong attributions on the web. The reason the track was called "As Andy Roved out" was that Christy Moore had a completely different song with the same title on the same album.

There are a number of discussions on this song here on Mudcat under the "As I Roved out" title.

I was wondering, too. The sleeve simply says 'Trad'.

That site says "tune by Andy Irvine". I think not?

Cheers,

Here ya go.

Don't be put off by the title. Both Andy and Christy do a version. The one I linked to is Andy's version. Merry X-mas.
