The irish rover - Clover (클로버)[00:00:00]
Written by:G.Glatz[00:00:02]
In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and six[00:00:05]
We set sail from the cold cove of cork[00:00:11]
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:16]
For the grand city hall of New York[00:00:22]
We had an elegant craft[00:00:26]
It was rigged 'fore and aft[00:00:29]
And how the trade winds drove her[00:00:31]
She had twenty three masts[00:00:36]
And she stood several blasts[00:00:38]
And they called her the irish rover[00:00:42]
There was barney mcgee[00:00:50]
From the banks of the lee[00:00:52]
There was hogan from County Tyrone[00:00:56]
There was johnny mcgurk[00:01:01]
Who was scared stiff of work[00:01:03]
And a chap from westmeath called malone[00:01:06]
There was slugger o'toole[00:01:11]
Who was drunk as a rule[00:01:14]
And fighting bill tracy from dover[00:01:16]
And your man mick mccann[00:01:20]
From the banks of the bann[00:01:23]
Was the skipper on the irish rover[00:01:26]
We had sailed seven years[00:02:20]
When the measles broke out[00:02:22]
And our ship lost her way in the fog[00:02:25]
And the whole of the crew[00:02:30]
Was reduced down the to[00:02:32]
'Twas meself and the captain's old dog[00:02:36]
Then the ship struck a rock[00:02:41]
Oh Lord what a shock[00:02:43]
We nearly tumbled over[00:02:46]
Turned nine times around and the poor dog was drowned[00:02:50]
I'm the last of the irish rover[00:02:56]
