The Irish Rover - The Clancy Brothers/Tommy Makem[00:00:00]

And 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[00:00:15]

We'd a near-leaking craft she was rigged fore[00:00:19]

And aft and how the trade winds drove her[00:00:22]

She had twenty-three masts and she stood several blasts[00:00:27]

And they called her the irish rover and[00:00:30]

There was bobby mcgee from the banks of the leith[00:00:36]

There was hogan from county tyrone there was john[00:00:39]

D mcgirk who was scared stiff of work and a chap from westmeath[00:00:44]

Named malone there was slugger o'toole who was drunk as a rule[00:00:49]

And fighting bill tracy from dover and your man mick mccann from the banks[00:00:54]

Of the bann was the skipper of the irish rover[00:01:01]

We had one million bags of the best sligo rags[00:01:07]

We had two million barrels of bone[00:01:10]

We had three million bales of old nanny goats' tails[00:01:14]

We had four million barrels of stone[00:01:18]

We had five million hogs and six million dogs seven million[00:01:22]

Barrels of porter we had eight million sides of old blind horses' hides[00:01:27]

In the hold of the irish rover we had sailed seven years[00:01:33]

When the measles broke out and the ship lost her way in the fog[00:01:39]

And the whale of the crew was reduced down to two 'twas meself[00:01:46]

And the captain's old dog then the ship hit a rock oh lord[00:01:50]

What a shock I nearly tumbled over turned nine times around[00:01:56]

And the poor old dog was drowned I'm the last of the irish rover[00:02:02]
