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

In the year[00:00:01]

Of our Lord[00:00:02]

Eighteen hundred and six[00:00:03]

We set sail[00:00:05]

From the port quay of Cork[00:00:06]

We were sailing away[00:00:09]

With a cargo of bricks[00:00:11]

For the grand city hall in New York[00:00:12]

We'd a near leaking craft[00:00:16]

She was rigged fore and aft[00:00:18]

And how the trade[00:00:20]

Winds drove her[00:00:21]

She had twenty three masts[00:00:23]

And she stood several blasts[00:00:25]

And they called her the Irish rover[00:00:27]

There was Bobby McGee[00:00:32]

From the banks of the Leith[00:00:34]

There was Hogan[00:00:35]

From County Tyrone[00:00:36]

There was John D McGirk[00:00:39]

Who was scared stiff of work[00:00:41]

And a chap from Westmeath named Malone[00:00:42]

We had slugger o'toole[00:00:46]

Who was drunk as a rule[00:00:48]

And fighting bill Tracy from Dover[00:00:50]

And your man Mick McCann[00:00:53]

From the banks of the Bann[00:00:55]

Was the skipper[00:00:57]

Of the Irish rover[00:00:58]

We had one million bags[00:01:02]

Of the best sligo rags[00:01:03]

We had two million barrels of bone[00:01:05]

We had three million bales[00:01:09]

Of old nanny goats' tails[00:01:10]

We had four million barrels of stone[00:01:12]

We had five million hogs[00:01:16]

And six million dogs[00:01:18]

Seven million barrels of porter[00:01:20]

We had eight million sides[00:01:23]

Of old blind horses' hides[00:01:25]

In the hold of the Irish rover[00:01:27]

We had sailed seven years[00:01:31]

When the measles broke out[00:01:33]

And the ship lost her way in the fog[00:01:35]

Red fog[00:01:38]

And the whale of the crew[00:01:39]

Was reduced down to two[00:01:41]

'Twas myself and the captain's old dog[00:01:42]

Then the ship hit a rock[00:01:46]

Oh Lord what a shock[00:01:48]

I nearly tumbled over[00:01:50]

Turned nine times around[00:01:54]

And the poor old dog was drowned[00:01:55]

I'm[00:01:59]

Stop the Irish rover[00:02:00]
