Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew. What a combo.

[@gerrymcguire7382]

[@Blacky474]

Ronnie Drew and Luke Kelly in one band awesome, wonderful Irish folk band, I been listening for 40 yrs, of course these guys are not around anymore, but the music continues to sing loud to me. 😊

[@BlackLabelSociety360]

Luke Kelly was a force!!! Absolute legend and greatly missed by all those who loved him and the music. RIP to The Dubliners 💚 🇮🇪 ☘️

[@AcesGaruda]

Such a powerful voice. The Dubliners music isn’t the same without him.

[@TheScribeofLight]

How many times must he, and they, have sung this song? And yet, he still gives it everything, and at the final chorus goes 'One last time'. IMHO, and being half Irish myself, that's what makes Irish music so great. You can sing the songs a thousand times, and yet they still work the thousand and onth time.

[@cymen1]

One of the most popular brown pubs songs in teh Netherlands and Germany?

[@colinmcdonald8521]

Favourite drinking song, originally written as an anti-drink ditty....

[@RubyMarkLindMilly]

Brilliant my football teams song Blackburn Rovers 😊

[@kerrysgold1]

Did not know.. great pick btw hope Rovers get promoted again soon🔥💚

[@stephenmcloughlin7718]

It is originally the song of your rivals Burnley, whom you just copied off. The lyrics of the song are the clue , about being anything but a rover, and not to be a rover.

[@kerpin09]

At their best!

[@kerrysgold1]

No neh never no neh never no more

[@olelukje3928]

It’s 1981

[@TheDublinersOfficial]

Well spotted! Thanks you, that's now corrected.

[@benfisher1376]

I've heard that this is actually a 17th century English folksong originally

[@Wotsitorlabart]

That is correct.

[@elstonngunn4193]

I've been a wild rover for many's the year And I've spent all me 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 And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more I went to an alehouse I used to frequent I told the landlady my money was spent I ask her for credit, she answered me nay Such a custom as yours I can have any day And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more I brought from me pocket ten sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She said:'I have whiskeys and wines of the best And the words that you told me were only in jest' And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son And when they've caressed me, as oft times before I never will play the wild rover no more And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more And it's no, nay, never No, nay never no more Will I play the wild rover No never no more

[@brassspittoonband]

will you play the wild rover?

[@deanomcevoy]

Is the wild rover a banjo string ?

[@thomasskeffington4539]

Metallica need to cover this.

[@briant6669]

ick

[@cymen1]

Nee is Dutch sounds exactly the same is No in Irish.

[@Sabouma28]

it's written as "nay" though 😉

[@einstraublumen2733]

An der Noooord- Seeee- Küsteeee...

[@grumben123]

That must be the worst Irish pub in the world. Good music, but the atmosphere there is a bit flat. Maybe it’s ladies night at the Scottish pub down the street.

[@markmay184]

It was filmed and recorded at the Channel 9 TV station in Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 in 1983, before a Live studio audience for an episode of the Don Lane Show.

[@Dumblievable]

Ronnie Drew again looking jealous

[@dadylfitzys8880]

I wonder how much head lice Luke Kelly has
