Luke Kelly Im A Rover

[Teddyb1939]

As an englishman & a londoner to boot I would say Luke Kelly together with Paul Brady& Sean Keane are pure MAGIC.I could list many other great Irish singers but would take too long.I still think the greatest folk singer of all is Nic Jones.

[akgwatts]

He was a rover and enjoyed his guiness; he gave us a magic that was unparallelled then, is today, and, will always be so.

[JROCK188]

when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking

How to gain my love's company.

my favorite part of the song

[hazelmoreify]

[nobodytotown]

[yoshuabell]

[ejlaparram]

Voices from heaven we are so missing, damn!

[ed936]

@399192209

There's neer a nicht I'm a gan to ramble

there's neer a nicht I'm gan to roam

there's neer a nicht I'm gan to ramble intae the airms o my true love.

or there's never a night I'm going to ramble

there's never a night I'm going to roam,

there's never a night I'm going to ramble into the arms of my tre love.

Wow I love this one... always adored "the night visiting song" and this was a great version of it. And I now can't help but to head for my hidden bottle of whiskey :-)

[kateypie1]

what an amazing song for lukes voice! i cant imagine anyones else excelling this.. also a lovely pic of yer man, its nice to see him smiling along :) drinks on me :) x

[jkeppel90]

Very similar message to The Night Visiting Song.

[SirCoughsalot]

I love this song. If I can't make a girl cry with this, I'm not gonna marry her, lol. Just a joke. Maybe. Also! Scottish accents are easy, just replace all your o's with a's!

[colmmeister]

on ye kellyo!!! thanks for another classic. This one ticks plenty of memory box'es for me. It sounds like a mix of "the night visiting song" and "peggy gordan". Have you got any background on it? Thanks again.

[SirCoughsalot]

It basically IS the Night Visiting Song, but with a Scottish accent. Great songs, both of them.

[Geirroed]

i am in mourning everytime i hear his songs...

my whiskey is empty...

R.I.P. luke

[Aristurtle89]

'my whiskey is empty' that's beautiful, i'm going to use that in a song!

god bless Luke Kelly

[tomazao]

hands up, whos sober now? not me

[JMD0429]

I'm sober, but I just started working on that problem.

[Schemzoom]

gr8 song...especially for us seldom sober ppl

[Erdinger2003]

Added on my birthday!! I remember hearing this song while in the military on the my first Irish CD-Irish Drinking Songs. People thought it was weird, I still crank this music whenever I get the chance. RIP LUKE!!! Cheers!
