The Wild Rover (Roud 1173) is a popular English-language folk song whose origins are contested.
History
Historically, the song has been referred to in Irish folklore and, since the late sixteenth century, it has been noted in written records—although it is likely that some northern Atlantic fishing crews knew the song before these historical accounts were made.
The song is a staple for artists performing live music in Irish pubs.
It is often considered to be a drinking song rather than a temperance song. For many people, the Wild Rover is the stereotypical Irish drinking song.
In the twentieth century the location of the song became a major concern due to its popularity, spurring continued debate amongst several European nations.
"The Wild Rover" is the most widely performed Irish song, although its exact origins are unknown.
The song tells the story of a young man who has been away from his hometown for many years. Returning to his former alehouse the landlady refuses him credit, until he presents the gold which he has gained while he has been away. He sings of how his days of roving are over and he intends to return to his home and settle down.
@TheDublinersOfficial are legendary folk band formed in 1962! I am a big fan of their art - and my YouTube career grew frankly because of the popularity.

THE WILD ROVER
I've been a wild rover for many's a year
And I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the Wild Rover no more
Chorus:
And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the Wild Rover
No never, no more
I went into an alehouse that I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay
Such a custom as yours I can have any day"
Then out of my pockets I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I said, they were only in jest"
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress me as o...

Damian is as endearing as ever to audiences with his performances of “Galway Girl”, “Bye Bye Baby” & L O V E. Michael’s character develops with “The Voice”, “A Thousand Years” and “Without You” and Emmet’s “Crow on the Cradle”, “Phil the Fluter’s Ball” and “On the Street Where you live” will charm viewers.

EXO’s Kai’s latest album Rover comes up at no ... EXO's Kai's mini-album 'Rover' is recording good results both at home and abroad ... The title song of the same name, 'Rover', is a song that contains Kai's wild charm.
