The Irish Rover

The Irish Rover - The High Kings[00:00:00]

In the Year of our Lord[00:00:24]

Eighteen hundred and six[00:00:26]

We set sail from the coal quay of Cork[00:00:28]

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:32]

For the Grand City Hall of New York[00:00:36]

We had an elegant craft[00:00:40]

She was rigged fore and aft[00:00:41]

And oh how the wild winds drove her[00:00:44]

She had twenty seven masts[00:00:47]

And withstood several blasts[00:00:49]

And they called her The Irish Rover[00:00:51]

There was Barney McGee[00:01:02]

From the banks of the Lee[00:01:04]

There was Hogan from County Tyrone[00:01:06]

There was Charlie McGurk[00:01:09]

Who was scared stiff of work[00:01:11]

And a chap from Westmeath [00:01:13]

Called Malone[00:01:15]

There was Slugger O'Toole[00:01:17]

Who was drunk as a rule[00:01:19]

And Fighting Bill Tracy from Dover[00:01:21]

And your man Mick McCann[00:01:25]

From the banks of the Bann[00:01:27]

Was the skipper of the Irish Rover[00:01:29]

Well we had five million[00:01:39]

Bags of the best Sligo rags[00:01:40]

We had six million barrels of stones[00:01:43]

And we had seven million[00:01:47]

Bales of old nanny goats tails[00:01:48]

We had eight million barrels of bones[00:01:50]

We had nine million hogs[00:01:55]

Ten million dogs[00:01:57]

Eleven million barrels of porter[00:01:59]

And we had twelve million[00:02:02]

Sides of old blind horses' hides[00:02:03]

In the hold of the Irish Rover[00:02:06]

We had sailed seven years[00:02:45]

When the measles broke out[00:02:47]

And the ship lost its way in a fog[00:02:49]

And that whole of the crew[00:02:52]

Was reduced down to two[00:02:54]

Just myself and the Captain's old dog[00:02:56]

Well the ship struck a rock[00:03:00]

Oh Lord what a shock[00:03:02]

The boat she turned right over[00:03:04]

She turned nine times around[00:03:07]

And the poor old dog was drowned[00:03:09]

I'm the last of The Irish Rover[00:03:15]
