Lyrics:
CHORUS
Oh, there're sober men and plenty
And drunkards barely twenty
There are men of over ninety
That have never yet kissed a girl
But give me a ramblin' rover
Frae Orkney down to Dover
We will roam the country over
And together we'll face the world
There's many that feign enjoyment
From merciless employment
Their ambition was this deployment
From the minute they left the school
And they save and scrape and ponder
While the rest go out and squander
See the world and rove and wander
And are happier as a rule
CHORUS
I've roamed through all the nations
In delight of all creations
And enjoyed a wee sensation
Where the company, it was kind
And when partin' was no pleasure
I've drunk another measure
To the good friends that we treasure
For they always are in our mind
CHORUS
If you're bent wi' arthiritis
Your bowels have got Colitis
You've gallopin' bollockitis
And you're thinkin' it's time you died
If you been a man o' action
Though you're lying there in traction
You will get some satisfaction
Thinkin', "Jesus, at least I tried."
CHORUS - Hudba
I've been looking hither & yon for this song for 35 years. I'd heard a fella sing it at a gathering with my dad and a bunch of other musicians. All gone now. No idea who that fella was way back in '86 now, but the refrain & very last stanza was stuck in the back of my head now for a 1/3rd of a century begging to be known once again in it's complete glory. I'd searched for it now & again. Asked many irish folks if they'd' heard or knew of it. googled it. Asked in special forums after it to no avail. My wife came across it on tictok, fowarded it to me...And for but for moment I flashed back to that day. The sights. The smells. The music. One of my few pleasant memories of my father.
Thank you.
Thank you
Thank you
My brother just passed away at 42 from alcoholism and this song makes me think of him for so many reasons.
My condolences
Please do a rendition of the parting glass for my grandmother Patty Miller. She was of scotts-irish decent and passed yesterday. Thanks so much. Love all you do. Your amazing and I appreciate everything you do and continue to do.
Sorry for your loss bro. I’ll raise a glass to her.
I just happened to pour one... first quaff is always to my older brother, gone these 30 years. Second is for Herself tonight. May Steve meet her and show her around.
This was a special song for my grandma and my dad who both have passed away. I play the song and I feel like I am with them again. My heart is with you
Sang this for my dad's wake, not a dry eye in the room. I'm sorry for your loss, hope your grandma's passing was peaceful.
Looks like he just posted one 9 days ago: czcams.com/video/BpgUcylk8fU/video.html
One of my favorite songs! I was a wildland firefighter for several seasons and if you ever want to understand the people who get into that lifestyle, then listen to this song.
These folk songs just teleport you to a different world! The bittersweet nostalgia of a simpler time!
sameee
You just gave a voice to that litle sound in My head That keeps telling me just ... Quit My job and see a good place to just ... Disapear to ... Thanks
I enjoy every time a new track is released. I hope for many more in the future. Let's go and listen togehter to that amazing music.
This was one of the first songs I heard when I first discovered Celtic music over 30 years ago. Wonderful job.
The "nightclub" in my podunk town set a sped-up version of this to some techno beatz and ALL the Newfie chicks hit the dance floor when it came on.
I miss that place so much...
Still one of the greatest songs ever. Waiting to bust this out one day, where everyone will join in.
This comment spoke to the deepest part of my soul❤
This is a beautiful version of the song!
This song really speaks to me. I’ve been in and out of jobs ever since I got out of school And really have lost my goals and Aspirations in life
I found you through tiktok, I sang along to this 3 or 4 times with a couple whiskeys and mate this is the new squad song. Cheers you angel voiced Irishman 💯🍻
a new favorite
Listening to you and your voice is a treat anytime of the day
Great job Seth! Excellent as always! 👍
Love his voice
This songs a bop
absolutely great work
loveI it
greetings from Germany
❤☘❤☘❤
I’ve heard a lot of versions of the song, yet yours is the one I enjoy the most; it has sort of a tavern vibe where everyone could join and sing together, also your voice is lit as hell!!! Keep doing it
Found the Siobhan Miller version last year which is very good, my favourite apart from the original is Bob Fox's. This is very good though.
Love your Songs and your great voice.
Another great hit from a fantastic artist!
Beautiful! I have a half an hour drive to work, and I usually put on one of your songs and play it on repeat the whole drive there. It's very soothing to hear early in the morning, and puts me in a good mood before work. Thank you so much!
Finally! So glad to hear this one. Keep growing this channel and we will always listen!
Truly brother Seth I'll see yee on the other side if not sooner!
Fortune to the bold!
I would love if you did The Orange and The Green cover again but the full song!😍
Another great song dude! I could be wrong but I don't think a single song you've done has any Dislikes! That's Awesome and one heck of a feat! Good Job.
I'm of irish decent somewhat so I love irish & scottish music
Me and my boyfriend were so happy to see this song from you !! We love ♥️
I come and listen to this often. Silly Wizard never gets enough love and you did brilliantly
Love your music brother
Great voice 👏
Are you ok? You look a little tired hope youre doin well and your voice is beautiful
PLEASE SPOTIFY IT....
Thank you for a lovely cover, sir. Cheers.
So beautiful thank you
Gotta hear you do some Stan Rogers!
Oh btw the song "Minstrel Boy" would be lit with you singing! 😊👍
A wonderful cover. The Ramblin’ Rover is one of my all time favorites.
This is one of my favorite songs, I was so excited to see it pop up in my feed! You never disappoint, it's awesome.
I've spent my whole adult life traveling with work. I can't sit at home for more than 4 days without going crazy, this song so well captures how I feel, and you sing it so well
This is wonderful! As usual:)
Hi from Norway :D
just wow.........
This is a bop
Dude this is great keep it up
Still wishing your songs are on spotify
🔥🔥🔥
I think you should put this up on iTunes cuz it’s quite good as it just sounds better because it just sounds more natural
Thanks
Seth pls spotify
I'd love to hear you singing Teir Abheile Riu
Where can we see you sing in person?
This St. Patrick's day, in Saint Louis Missouri! Its gonna be lit!
I've never liked Tik Tok. Cousin asked me to try it. And it brought me to your channel so I guess it's not so bad.
Dude....your voice is amazing...really...could you possibly do a cover for Soldier by Fleurie? Might be hauntingly beautiful
I love the song. In your lyrics, you wrote: "Where the company, it was kind", but sang "Where the company did prove kind". I actually prefer the latter. I just figured I'd point it out, since it threw me off a bit when trying to learn the song.
Will more of your songs go on iTunes
Is that Leith in Edinburgh?
Great job as always. Can you check out “heave away by The Fables” I think you would make a dope cover of it
RIP Alex "Technoblade"
First of all great song, second is there something wrong with Spotify as I only see two songs on your account
Have you got a album of all your covers on here? If so where can I find it mate
I'm struggling to find the meaning of the song, as beautiful as it is. Is it saying it's better to live risky and fail or safe and fail? Or is that not it at all?
first one being risky living in the moment and standing for what you believe in and want
a mix of living well but failing and living well and winning
@@persianprince6213 ok, thanks
First comment again!!! 😊😊😊
Diggin' it at 1.25x as well. :]
Why in the hell was I not subbed?! I feel as though I have robbed myself.
So glad to hear another version of this song. Haven't heard it in a long time.
I just found this song the other week (czcams.com/video/gcOmWD1piKI/video.html) and I think it'd be a great one for you do.
He's no Sean cannon but he's good
