Seven Drunken Nights is most closely associated with The Dubliners. This is a video of the band performing the song at a concert in Dublin and includes an interesting introduction from singer Ronnie Drew. There’s also a nice musical twist at the end - much gentler than you might imagine.

This is another live version with Ronnie Drew pointing out that they are only allowed to sing five of the verses.

The Tossers give the song their own individual treatment with regular changes in tempo.

As a measure of the universal appeal of the song, try this version by the Hungarian band Firkin. Warning … they sing the full seven verses.

Bill Craig, formerly of the Irish Rovers, produces this fine version.

The country singer Mike Denver recorded this version.
