The Irish Rover - The Clancy Brothers[00:00:00]

In the year of our lord eighteen hundred and six[00:00:04]

We set sail from the port quay of cork[00:00:08]

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:12]

For the grand city hall of new york[00:00:15]

We'd a nearleaking craft it was rigged fore and aft[00:00:19]

And how the trade winds drove her[00:00:23]

She had twenty-three masts and she stood several blasts[00:00:26]

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

There was bobby mcgee from the banks of the leith[00:00:35]

There was hogan from county tyrone[00:00:38]

There was john d mcgirk who was scared stiff of work[00:00:42]

And a chap from westmeath named malone[00:00:45]

There was Slugger o'toole who was drunk as a rule[00:00:49]

And fighting bill tracy from dover[00:00:53]

And a man mick mccann from the banks of the bann[00:00:56]

Was the skipper of the irish rover[00:01:00]

We had one million bags of the best sligo rags[00:01:04]

We had two million barrels of pone[00:01:08]

We had three million bales of old nanny goats tails[00:01:11]

We had four million barrels of stone[00:01:15]

We had five million hogs[00:01:18]

And six million dogs[00:01:20]

Seven million barrels of porter[00:01:22]

We had eight million sides of poor blind horses hides[00:01:26]

In the hold of the irish rover[00:01:29]

We had sailed seven years when the mizzens broke out[00:01:34]

And the ship lost her way in the fog[00:01:37]

And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two[00:01:41]

Twas meself and the captain's old dog[00:01:45]

Well the ship struck a rock and lord what a shock[00:01:48]

I nearly tumbled over[00:01:52]

Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned[00:01:55]

I'm the last of the irish rover[00:02:05]
