Title: Nooo Nay Never...

With a big Irish connection surely we need Wild Rover pumping out before KO.

And sang like the original version.

Here you are:

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 into an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay"
"Such a custom as yours I can have every day"

And it's no, nay, never
No, nay, never, no more
Will I play the wild rover
No, never, no more

I then took from me pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She says "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 ofttimes 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

“I went to a whorehouse I used to frequent…”

Not a naff version though please,  return to this but maybe the decision maker doesn't like it anyway?
Got to be a reason it was dropped but why?

Dropkick Murphys' version was good, and would be great with the new sound system.

Another good suggestion is Amarillo, with its Doncaster connection via Tony Christie.

Sean Thornton version of Amarillo after beating Villa was class.

Show me the way to hammer villa
With O’Leary crying in pillow
When Sean Thornton score for me
Naa naa naa na Rovers.

Don’t forget that our forum member. The_little_pretender1 has released his charity single ‘this is my city’
Surely this has to be played on the new sound system?
