The Irish Rover - The Pogues/The Dubliners[00:00:00]

On the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six[00:00:08]

We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork[00:00:11]

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:15]

For the grand city hall in New York[00:00:18]

Towas a wonderful craft she was rigged fore-and-aft[00:00:22]

And oh how the wild winds drove her [00:00:25]

She'd got several blasts she'd twenty-seven masts[00:00:28]

And we called her the Irish Rover [00:00:32]

We had one million bales of the best Sligo rags[00:00:36]

We had two million barrels of stones[00:00:39]

We had three million sides of old blind horses hides [00:00:43]

We had four million barrels of bones [00:00:46]

We had five million hogs we had six million dogs [00:00:50]

Seven million barrels of porter [00:00:53]

We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails [00:00:57]

In the hold of the Irish Rover [00:01:00]

There was awl Mickey Coote who played hard on his flute[00:01:04]

When the ladies lined up for his set[00:01:08]

He was tooting with skill for each sparkling quadrille[00:01:11]

Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet[00:01:15]

With his sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk[00:01:18]

As he rolled the dames under and over[00:01:22]

They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance[00:01:25]

And he sailed in the Irish Rover[00:01:28]

There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee [00:02:01]

There was Hogan from County Tyrone[00:02:04]

There was Jimmy McGurk who was scarred stiff of work[00:02:08]

And a man from Westmeath called Malone[00:02:11]

There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule[00:02:14]

And fighting Bill Tracey from Dover[00:02:18]

And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann[00:02:21]

Was the skipper of the Irish Rover[00:02:25]

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out[00:02:29]

And the ship lost it's way in a fog [00:02:32]

And that whale of the crew was reduced down to two [00:02:36]

Just meself and the captain's old dog [00:02:39]

Then the ship struck a rock oh Lord what a shock[00:02:43]

The bulkhead was turned right over[00:02:46]

Turned nine times around and the poor dog was drowned[00:02:51]

I'm the last of the Irish Rover[00:03:00]
