The Irish Rover - Ronnie Drew/Tommy Makem[00:00:00]

On the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six[00:00:04]

We set sail from the sweet cove of cork[00:00:08]

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

For the grand city hall in New York[00:00:16]

'Twas a wonderful craft she was rigged fore-and-aft[00:00:20]

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

She'd got several blasts she'd twenty-seven masts[00:00:28]

And we called her the Irish rover[00:00:32]

We had one million bales of the best sligo rags[00:00:37]

We had two million barrels of stones[00:00:41]

We had three million sides of old blind horses hides[00:00:45]

We had four million barrels of bones[00:00:50]

We had five million hogs we have six million dogs[00:00:54]

We have seven million barrels of porter[00:00:58]

We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails[00:01:02]

In the hold of the Irish rover[00:01:06]

There was awl mickey coote who played hard on his flute[00:01:11]

When the ladies lined up for his set[00:01:15]

He was tooting with skill for each sparkling quadrille[00:01:19]

Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet[00:01:23]

With his sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk[00:01:27]

As he rolled the dames under and over[00:01:31]

They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance[00:01:35]

And he sailed in the Irish rover[00:01:39]

There was barney mcgee from the banks of the lee[00:01:44]

There was hogan from county tyrone[00:01:48]

And Micky Mcgurk who was scarred stiff of work[00:01:52]

And a from westmeath called me alone[00:01:56]

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

And fighting bill tracey from dover[00:02:04]

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out[00:02:17]

And the ship lost it's way in a fog[00:02:21]

And that whale of the crew was reduced down to two[00:02:25]

Just meself and the captain's old dog[00:02:29]

Then the ship struck a rock oh lord what a shock[00:02:33]

The bulkhead was turned right over[00:02:37]

Turned nine times around and the poor dog was drowned[00:02:41]

I'm the last of the Irish rover[00:02:46]
