Born as the Victim Of Geography 1000 miles behind & far away from Ireland, with human & emigration rights denied by both the bloody 3rd world & Irish government, this 1 rebel In 3rd world’s chains is betrayed and forgotten, long time awaiting freedom and move home towards Republic Of Ireland. Born ‘n’ doomed by the many hells of the 3rd world, the path of Irish Rover’s life and music is one paved with pain, misery and everlasting dream of breaking free, reaching the freedom of the civilized world and bringing the music of essence, attitude and furious devotion to where it truly belongs. Unlike the one too many pagan celtic boys' bands & their poseurs masses of fans, it was never about cheers, beers & fucking football for Irish Rover. Irish Rover speaks & sings against the system ! Original Irish Rover music is rooted in rebellion, anti-governmental, anti-corporate, anti-police stance, anarchy, human & animal liberation, Christian & Vegan attitude, all seen through eyes of a homeless outcast immigrant. Once in Ireland, Irish Rover is seeking to gather the hardcore backing band of like-minded musicians. Led by Irish Rover - Rover MacChroí, Irish Rover And The Crew is bound to become the No.1 Anti-System Irish punk band in Ireland & worldwide. Until then - rebel, bring back the good old rebel spirit back to Ireland. Never sell out, never compromise - Irish Punk's Not Dead.

Irish Rover Lyrics
From the bonnie braes of Scotland to the shores of Waikiki
There I met my hula lassie who stole away me kilties
And left her hula skirt with me
We went roamin' in the gloamin' beneath the tropic coco trees
Arm in arm together we pledged our love forever
For she's the hula girl for me
Just a wee tune on the bagpipes and all the neighbours gather
Me and me hula lassie, me hula hula lassie we dance amang the heather
From the bonnie braes of Scotland to the shores of Waikiki
There I met my hula lassie who stole away me kilties
And left her hula skirt with me
Oh roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks of Clyde
Roamin' in the gloamin' wi' me lassie by me side
When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that I love best
Gee it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'
Now when I play me bagpipes me friends all meet together
We do the Highland fling and the hula hula ring amang the bloomin' heather
From the bonnie braes of Scotland to the shores of Waikiki
There I met me hula lassie me hula hula lassie
And she's the only girl for me
From the bonnie braes of Scotland to the shores of Waikiki
There I met my hula lassie who stole away me kilties
And left her hula skirt with me
When I'm playing on the bagpipes she's as happy as can be
She strums her ukulele, me ukulele lady
Is the only hula girl for me
Oh roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks of Clyde
Roamin' in the gloamin' wi' me lassie by me side
When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that I love best
Gee it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'
Oh roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks of Clyde
Roamin' in the gloamin' wi' me lassie by me side
When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that I love best
Gee it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'
There I met my hula lassie who stole away me kilties
And left her hula skirt with me
We went roamin' in the gloamin' beneath the tropic coco trees
Arm in arm together we pledged our love forever
For she's the hula girl for me
Just a wee tune on the bagpipes and all the neighbours gather
Me and me hula lassie, me hula hula lassie we dance amang the heather
From the bonnie braes of Scotland to the shores of Waikiki
And left her hula skirt with me
Oh roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks of Clyde
Roamin' in the gloamin' wi' me lassie by me side
When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that I love best
Gee it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'
Now when I play me bagpipes me friends all meet together
We do the Highland fling and the hula hula ring amang the bloomin' heather
From the bonnie braes of Scotland to the shores of Waikiki
There I met me hula lassie me hula hula lassie
And she's the only girl for me
From the bonnie braes of Scotland to the shores of Waikiki
There I met my hula lassie who stole away me kilties
And left her hula skirt with me
When I'm playing on the bagpipes she's as happy as can be
She strums her ukulele, me ukulele lady
Is the only hula girl for me
Oh roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks of Clyde
Roamin' in the gloamin' wi' me lassie by me side
When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that I love best
Gee it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'
Oh roamin' in the gloamin' on the bonnie banks of Clyde
Roamin' in the gloamin' wi' me lassie by me side
When the sun has gone to rest that's the time that I love best
Gee it's lovely roamin' in the gloamin'

6. Our Scottish friend, still dressed in kilt,
Continued up the street
He hadn't gone ten yards or more,
When a lass he chanced to meet.
She said: "I've heard what's underneath there,
Tell me, is it so?"
He said: "Just slip your hand up, lass,
If y'really want to know!"
7. So she slipped her hand right up his kilt,
And much to her surprise,
The Scotsman smiled,
And a very strange look came into his eyes,
She said: "Why, sir, that's gruesome!"
And then she heard him roar:
"If you stick yer hand up once again,
You'll find it grew some more!"

I'm sure that someone has pointed out that this is NOT The Irish Rovers, Bryan but it is Bowers performing Mike Cross's song "The Scotsman" live at The 1980 Winfield National Flat Picking Festival.
The proper title is "The Scotsman", not "The drunk Scotsman".
@rochellekentzel6610
Thank you Donald! To all who heard this song? Hopefully you will embrace the Scottish man and the heart that inspired the lyrics !!
@fullonsociopath
First heard this at work on the radio. Could not stop laughing at the ending. So good.
@artemiswinchester6151
I almost wanna say that I'm shocked the Outlander fanbase hasn't been here and used a picture of Jamie for this :P
@Muay777Thai
Best song ever.
@haraldlichtenburg6719
I agree
@davidhenry3650
The artist is Bryan Bowers, not the Irish Rovers, and the song title is "The Scotsman." It's on Bryan's CD "Home, Home on the Road."
@PHJimY
Bryan learned it from Mike Cross, who wrote it.
@rochellekentzel6610
Thank you for your edification of this grand song! Give credit where it is truly due!
@4ltimit1
facepalm
I was about to say that after I Shazamed it.
Should have just scrolled down.
