The Irish Rover - The Irish Dreamers[00:00:00]

On the fourth of july 1806[00:00:08]

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

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:14]

For the grand city hall in new york[00:00:18]

T'was a wonderful craft she was rigged fore and aft[00:00:21]

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

She stood several blasts she had twenty-seven masts[00:00:28]

And they called her the irish rover[00:00:31]

We had one million bags of the best sligo rags[00:00:36]

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

We had three million sides of old blind horses' hides[00:00:42]

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

We had five million hogs and six million dogs[00:00:49]

And seven million barrels of porter[00:00:53]

We had eight million bails of old nanny gold tails[00:00:56]

In the hold of the irish rover[00:00:59]

There was old mickey coote who played hard on his flute[00:01:04]

When the ladies lined up for a set[00:01:07]

He was tootin' with skill for each sparking quadrille[00:01:10]

Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet[00:01:14]

With his smart witty talk he was cock of the walk[00:01:17]

He rolled the dames under and over[00:01:21]

They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance[00:01:24]

That he sailed on the irish rover[00:01:28]

There was barney mcgee from the banks of the lee[00:02:00]

There was hogan from county tyrone[00:02:03]

There was johnny mcgurk who was scared stiff of work[00:02:07]

And your man from the west meath called malone[00:02:10]

The was slugger o'toole who was drunk as a rule[00:02:13]

And fighting bill tracey from dover[00:02:17]

And your man mick mccann from the banks of the bann[00:02:20]

Was the skipper of the irish rover[00:02:24]

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out[00:02:28]

And the ship lost its way in the fog[00:02:31]

And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two[00:02:35]

Just myself and the captain's old dog[00:02:38]

Then the ship struck a rock oh lord what a shock[00:02:41]

The bulkhead was turned right over[00:02:45]

Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned[00:02:50]

And the last of the irish rover[00:02:59]
