Lyrics and chords

Planxty recorded As I Roved Out on their album, The Well Below the Valley, with Andy Irvine on lead vocals. For many people this is the definitive version of the song. Andy plays the hurdy gurdy on this live version with Planxty.

On this version, Irvine lays down his instruments and concentrates just on singing. It’s a stripped down version and it works beautifully.

 
 
Irish folk band Dervish and English singer Kate Rusby recorded this beautiful version of As I Roved Out.

 
 
June Tabor, another brilliant English singer, recorded this version to a simple piano accompaniment.

 
 
Irish band Acushla recorded this fine version featuring uillean pipes.

 
 
For a nice relaxing guitar solo instrumental, try this version.
