20 Jul 07 - 07:33 AM (#2107503) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild rover From: GUEST,sam I remeber Andy sung: "I spent all my money on whiskey and beer" like the texts I've found. But he sung: In all my wild roven just 1 thing was wrong, The days were too short and the days were too long, and "Last night i was free, these were the last words that she said to me". Anyone? |

21 Jul 07 - 02:03 AM (#2108035) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild rover From: Jim Lad Why do you think the other one had to insert the "M"? Seriously though; The question is unclear. I thought the guest "Sam" was referring to Andy Stewart. |

27 Jul 07 - 03:24 PM (#2112829) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild rover From: GUEST,Sam Yes , I was referring to the real Andy Stewart (without M) Anyone got the lyrics? |

27 Jul 07 - 03:39 PM (#2112835) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild rover From: GUEST,meself Okay - so the "M" stands for "Makebelieve"? Or, 'Maginary? |

Stewart, but as far as I know, he always recorded as Andy Stewart. The only recording of WILD ROVER that Allmusic.com lists for Andy Stewart is this medley: My Ain Hoose/Westering Home/Wild Mountain Thyme/Horee-Horo/Wild Rover |

31 Jul 07 - 12:42 AM (#2115254) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild rover From: Jim Lad Thank you Kenneth and may The Good Lord bless and keep you always. In the name of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost, Amen. That's a wee blessing from a Catholic, straight to you. You can't wash it off or spit it out. You are, I'm pleased to say, stuck with it. (At least until you learn how to pass it on.) |

I would really love if I could get this, thank you! |

24 Aug 07 - 04:01 PM (#2132930) Subject: More than one Andy From: OtherDave People who only know Andy M. Stewart, formerly of Silly Wizard, may never have heard (or heard of) another Scottish singer with the easily confused name of Andy Stewart. Andy No-M, as I'll call him here, was an entertainer who worked the same vein as Sir Harry Lauder before him -- a heavy bundle of tartan enthusiasm and not a little Scottoonery. (Look for "Andy Stewart" on Wikipedia, and you'll get a page that makes the distinction between Andy M of Silly Wizard and Andy No-M, as well as several other, non-singing Stewarts.) Andy No-M, who died at 59 in 1993, is perhaps most famous for the comic song, "Donald, Whar's Yer Troosers?" along with other "traditional favo(u)rites" like "A Scottish Soldier." (By way of analogy, had he been Irish, Andy No-M might have been much likelier to sing "Danny Boy" than "Four Green Fields.") Silly Wizard Andy's middle name is MacGregor; he may have adopted the "M" as a way of making clear, at least to Scottish audiences, that he was not their father's Andy Stewart. |

25 Aug 07 - 10:39 PM (#2133633) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild Rover From: Malcolm Douglas Quite simply, the older Andy Stewart was much better known; and still is. Andy 'M' needed to establish a separate identity for himself. This tends to confuse newcomers, who typically have no idea at all about it, imagining that their limited experience (they have generally only heard of Andy 'M') is all that there is. |

04 Sep 07 - 07:38 AM (#2140454) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild Rover From: GUEST I also liked AS version of "The Wild Rover". I get the feeling that it's about a wanderer who has tried to stop drink all his life, but never succeeded. It was long ago since I heard it, though. |

14 Sep 07 - 12:57 PM (#2149242) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild Rover From: GUEST,Sam Hello again! Thank you for all answers. I think one verse is like this: I've travelled all over through city and town, Ah, the prices goes up and the whisky goes down. In all my wild rovin' just one thing was wrong, Oh, the nights were too short and the days were too long. Any help would be appreciated. |

13 Jul 22 - 12:25 PM (#4147202) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild Rover From: GUEST,Lyrics I've been singing this version of Wild Rover for over 40 years - I must've learned it off Andy Stewart's record because I can't find these same verses anywhere else. I may be missing a verse? That's how I found this thread, I was looking for the lyrics. Here is what I remember: I've been a wild rover for many's a year And I spent all me money on whiskey and beer There's girls that I've kissed now, a dozen or more Och, there may have been others, but who's keepin score And it's no, nay, never... I've traveled all over through city and town Ah, the prices go up and the whisky goes down In all my wild rovin' just one thing was wrong Oh, the nights were too short and the days were too long And it's no, nay, never... For now I can hear them, the wedding bells chime Aye and one bonnie lassie is gonna be mine Last night I was with her, last night I was free Ah, but these are the last words that she said to me She said NO, NAY, NEVER, no nay never no more And YOU'LL play the wild rover no never, no more |

14 Jul 22 - 03:11 AM (#4147247) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Andy Stewart's version of Wild Rover From: Senoufou In the Sixties I 'used to frequent' a folk club in Edinburgh. I loved this song, and in the chorus (when you clap four times) we used to shout "Right up yer KILT!" Being half-Irish, I loved the Dubliners singing this too. |
