Irish Rover - The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem[00:00:00]
In the year of our lord eighteen-hundred and six[00:00:03]
We set sail from the port quay of cork[00:00:07]
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:11]
For the grand city hall in New York[00:00:14]
We'd an elegant craft she was rigged fore and aft[00:00:18]
And how the trade winds drove her[00:00:22]
She had twenty-three masts and she stood several blasts[00:00:25]
And they called her the Irish Rover[00:00:29]
There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Leith[00:00:33]
There was Hogan from county Tyrone[00:00:37]
There was Johnny McGirk who was scared stiff of work[00:00:40]
And a chap from westmeath named Malone[00:00:44]
We had slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule[00:00:47]
And fighting Bill Tracy from dover[00:00:51]
And your man mick McCann from the banks of the Bann[00:00:55]
Was the skipper on the Irish Rover[00:00:58]
We had one million bags of the best sligo rags[00:01:03]
We had two million barrels of bone[00:01:06]
We had three million bales of old nanny goats' tails[00:01:10]
We had four million barrels of stone[00:01:14]
We had five million hogs[00:01:17]
And six million dogs[00:01:19]
Seven million barrels of porter[00:01:21]
We had eight million sides of old blind horses' hides[00:01:24]
In the hold of the Irish Rover[00:01:28]
We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out[00:01:32]
And the ship lost her way in a fog great fog[00:01:36]
And the whale of a crew was reduced down to two[00:01:40]
Twas myself and the captain's old dog dirty dog[00:01:43]
Well the ship struck a rock oh lord what a shock[00:01:47]
And nearly tumbled over[00:01:50]
Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned[00:01:54]
I'm the last of the Irish Rover[00:02:01]
