I’m a rover, seldom sober
I’m a rover of high degree
It’s when I’m drinking,
I’m always thinking
how to gain my love’s company
For whatever reason–mainly the demands of time as other interests crop up–I realized recently that I’ve listened to very little Celtic music lately. As in, the entire last year.
This is not acceptable to me.
I found a suitable starting point with “I’m a Rover”, a song that’s been covered by just about everybody in the genre. Here’s Siobhan Miller’s version. Why hers, and not someone else’s? Because it’s the one I’ve just heard, and it’s good!
