no it isn't, it's a gristol whaling song.

You may be thinking of "Drunken SAILor", the real-world song on which Drunken Whaler is based.

It is not, in fact, an Irish Rover song, assuming you mean the musical group. However, it is further incorrect to attribute it to the Irish nationality, as the song is of indeterminate origin, and some of the earliest mentions of the song actually come from America.
