The Wild Rover

The Wild Rover

What a classic sing (shout) along song. Done by any number of acts over the years and is s staple for most pub bands I've seen in Nova Scotia.

A note for those people who are wondering about the supposed "extra" verses. The main structure of the song are the verses used by The Dubliners. However, I chances across the "additional" verses when I was reading through a collection or Maritime folk songs compiled by Dr. Helen Creighton (I do not believe this songs has its origins in the Maritimes but the other verses came from a source in Nova Scotia). In this version I added in the verses I have never heard before.

Please excuse my voice, it has been a long while since I have performed the Wild Rover in it's entirety :P

I hope you enjoy it, please let me know what you think!

Love the backdrop man! Is that your own front door?

[TravisTricky]

This is actually inside of my old apartment! I lived in the loft and the old chimney came right up through my old music room. If I had opened that door I would have been in my hallway!
