The Wild Rover - Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem

Күн бұрынTHE 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 oft times before
Then I never will play the Wild Rover no more

in 1967, several of us attended a concert at constitution hall in washington, dc. we wore wool sweaters, and moments before curtain time an announcement was made that one of the borthers had left his at the motel, and would anyone in the audience be willing to provide a certain size. 'exactly!', one of my companions responded, and one of the brothers wore his sweater for the performance. one of the young women in our small group, the daughter of a prominent dc physician with every kind of connection, had ascertained where liam was likely to go after the concert. we got there before there was anything of a crowd. actually, no one seemed to expect him. well, when liam walked in, mary the daughter of the doctor, walked up to hin and said in a matter of fact but alluring voice: 'we'd like you to sit with us.' indeed, he did. we passed several hours in our cozy both, listening to liam recite irish stories and poetry, and once or twice rising to sing a song on request from someone in the establishment. it came time to take liam to his lodgings, as he was inebriated - or by irish standards, approaching such state. we drove him to a holiday inn at capitol circle - does that location still exist? lo, his brothers and tommy makem show up,tommy a non-drinker, the only one of the boys nearly sober. a mini concert takes place. it seems for having brought liam home safe.

I was in a backroom with my uncle and father and the Clancy bros, I was about 7 at the time. They were jamming out and I was all bored and wanted to leave... I was such a dumb kid, that was a once in a lifetime experience.

You can’t compare the Dubliners to the Clancys. The Clancys revived all the traditional Irish songs and brought them back to Ireland. They paved the way for all the bands that followed. I love the Dubliners, they have their own slant on things but I think they would be the first to agree that the Clancys started it all off.

It's a real tragedy that the Clancys and Tommy M never made a serious attempt to make it big here in England. I know they once played to a sellout audience at London's Royal Albert Hall, but that's about it, they were soon back off to America and Ireland again, so not many people in England had heard of them, more's the pity. The Fureys,Chieftains and Dubliners were big in England, the great Ronnie Drew belting out 'Seven Drunken Nights' took the English charts by storm..:)

The Prusso-Hungarian Empire - Like I said, you're living in the past when the english politicians went around invading half the countries in the world.And don't forget that the Irish are far from squeaky-clean themselves, they used to plant bombs in England that blew up men women and children, such as in 1990 when a bomb rattled our windows and woke up our cat in Leicester, what cheek! The English never planted bombs in Ireland or anywhere else..:) But the great english people don't blame the great Irish people for it, we know it was just a few psycho IRA nutters who did it..:) As for Northern Ireland, they know which side their bread is buttered on, that's why they want to be part of the mighty UK along with England Scotland and Wales..:)
