The Irish Rover - Johnny Logan[00:00:00]

Written by：Joseph Crofts[00:00:02]

On the fourth of July 1806[00:00:08]

We set sail from the sweet cove of cork[00:00:12]

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:15]

For the grand city hall in New York[00:00:19]

'Twas a wonderful craft[00:00:23]

She was rigged fore and aft[00:00:25]

And oh how the wild wind drove her[00:00:27]

She stood several blasts[00:00:30]

She had twenty seven masts[00:00:32]

And they called her the Irish rover[00:00:34]

We had one million bags of the best sligo rag[00:00:38]

We had two million barrels of stone[00:00:42]

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

We had four million barrels of bones[00:00:49]

We had five million hogs[00:00:53]

And six million dogs[00:00:55]

Seven million barrels of porter[00:00:57]

We had eight million bales of old nanny goate tails[00:01:00]

In the hold of the Irish rover[00:01:04]

There was awl Mickey coote[00:01:08]

Who played hard on the flute[00:01:10]

When the ladies lined up for a set[00:01:12]

He would tootle with skill[00:01:16]

For each sparkling quadrille[00:01:17]

Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet[00:01:19]

With his smart witty talk[00:01:23]

He was cock of the walk[00:01:25]

And he rolled the dames under and over[00:01:27]

They all knew at a glance[00:01:30]

When he took up his stance[00:01:32]

That he sailed in the Irish rover[00:01:34]

There was Barney Mcgee[00:02:09]

From the banks of the Lee[00:02:11]

There was Hogan from County Tyrone[00:02:13]

There was Johnny Mcgurk[00:02:16]

Who was scared stiff of work[00:02:18]

And a man from Westmeath called Malone[00:02:20]

There was slugger o'toole[00:02:23]

Who was drunk as a rule[00:02:25]

And fighting Bill Tracy from dover[00:02:27]

And your man Mick Mccann[00:02:31]

From the banks of the Bann[00:02:33]

Was the skipper of the Irish rover[00:02:35]

We had sailed seven years[00:02:39]

When the measles broke out[00:02:41]

And the ship lost it's way in the fog[00:02:43]

And that whale of a crew[00:02:47]

Was reduced down to two[00:02:48]

Just myself and the captain's old dog[00:02:50]

Then the ship struck a rock[00:02:54]

Oh lord what a shock[00:02:56]

The bulkhead was turned right over[00:02:58]

Turned nine times around[00:03:01]

And the poor old dog was drowned[00:03:03]

1 2 3[00:03:08]

I'm the last of the Irish rover[00:03:09]
