The Goodship Rover - The Irish Rovers[00:00:00]
I'm the son of the son of a sailor[00:00:14]
And I spend all me time on the sea[00:00:17]
On a tall clipper ship named the Rover[00:00:21]
She's home to me shipmates and me[00:00:24]
We've sailed her through all kinds of weather[00:00:28]
Through waves that were high as the mast[00:00:31]
And she brings us back safely to Ireland[00:00:35]
To her home in the port of Belfast[00:00:37]
And we'll drink to the health of the Rover[00:00:41]
Likewise to the captain and crew[00:00:44]
May kind Providence shine upon them[00:00:48]
Whenever they're out on the blue[00:00:50]
The good ship lies ready at anchor[00:00:57]
We sail with the tide in the morn[00:01:00]
Across the Atlantic to Boston[00:01:04]
And to Frisco around by Cape Horn[00:01:07]
Farewell and adieu to you Nancy[00:01:11]
I'm off to the sea for awhile[00:01:14]
And you are the one I will think on[00:01:18]
Till I'm back in Paddy's green Isle[00:01:20]
And we'll drink to the health of the Rover[00:01:24]
Likewise to the captain and crew[00:01:27]
May kind Providence shine upon them[00:01:31]
Whenever they're out on the blue[00:01:33]
We're now in full sail on the ocean[00:01:40]
With the westerly wind blowing free[00:01:44]
She cuts like a knife through the water[00:01:47]
She rules every wave of the sea[00:01:51]
She's the fastest tall clipper a'sailing[00:01:54]
The pride of the carpentry line[00:01:58]
Doing 17 knots in the voyage[00:02:01]
She'll have you back home in fine time[00:02:03]
And we'll drink to the health of the Rover[00:02:07]
Likewise to the captain and crew[00:02:10]
May kind Providence shine upon them[00:02:14]
Whenever they're out on the blue[00:02:16]
And now we are nearing old Ireland[00:02:47]
For the harbor has come into sight[00:02:50]
The lassies are all on the dockside[00:02:54]
There'll be singing and dancing to night[00:02:57]
We'll be drinking strong whiskey and porter[00:03:00]
Till they carry us out through the door[00:03:04]
And when we have spend all our money[00:03:07]
We'll go back on the Rover once more[00:03:10]
And we'll drink to the health of the Rover[00:03:13]
Likewise to the captain and crew[00:03:17]
May kind Providence shine upon them[00:03:20]
Whenever they're out on the blue[00:03:23]
And we'll drink to the health of the Rover[00:03:26]
Likewise to the captain and crew[00:03:30]
May kind Providence shine upon them[00:03:33]
Whenever they're out on the blue[00:03:36]
