Irish Rover - Margo[00:00:00]
In the year of our Lord[00:00:05]
Eighteen hundred and six[00:00:07]
We set sail from the sweet Cobh of Cork[00:00:09]
We were sailing away[00:00:13]
With a cargo of bricks[00:00:16]
For the grand City Hall of New York[00:00:18]
Was a wonderful craft[00:00:22]
She was rigged fore and aft[00:00:24]
And Lord how the wild winds drove her[00:00:27]
She stood ever the blast[00:00:31]
She had twenty-seven masts[00:00:33]
And we called her the Irish Rover[00:00:35]
There was Barney McGee[00:00:43]
From the banks of the Lee[00:00:46]
There was Hogan from County Tyrone[00:00:48]
There was Johnny McGurk[00:00:52]
Who was scared stiff of work[00:00:54]
And the chap from westmeath named Mellone[00:00:56]
There was Slugger O'Toole[00:01:01]
Who was drunk as a rule[00:01:03]
And fighting Bill Trasy from Dover[00:01:05]
There was Dooley from Clare[00:01:09]
Just as strong as a bear[00:01:11]
And on bord of the Irish Rover[00:01:14]
We had sailed seven years[00:01:39]
When the measles broke out[00:01:41]
And our ship lost its way in the fog[00:01:43]
And the way of the crew[00:01:47]
Was reduced down to two[00:01:49]
Meself and the captain's old dog[00:01:52]
Then the ship struck a rock[00:01:56]
A lot was the shock[00:01:59]
The boead was killed right over[00:02:01]
For it'll nine times around[00:02:05]
The poor old dog was drowned[00:02:07]
I'm the last of the Irish Rovers[00:02:10]
