Irish Rover - Hit Crew Masters[00:00:00]
On the fourth of july 1806[00:00:04]
We set sail from the sweet cove of cork[00:00:08]
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:11]
For the grand city hall in new york[00:00:15]
It was a wonderful craft[00:00:19]
She was rigged fore and aft[00:00:21]
And oh how the wild wind drove her[00:00:23]
She stood several blasts[00:00:27]
She twenty seven masts[00:00:29]
And we called her the irish rover[00:00:31]
We had one million bags of the best sligo rags[00:00:42]
We had two million barrels of stone[00:00:46]
We had three million sides of old blind horses hides[00:00:50]
We had four million barrels of bones[00:00:54]
Five million hogs[00:00:59]
Six million dogs[00:01:00]
Seven million barrels of porter[00:01:02]
We had eight million bails of old nanny-goats' tails[00:01:06]
In the hold of the irish rover[00:01:10]
There was awl mickey coote[00:01:21]
Who played hard on his flute[00:01:23]
When the ladies lined up for a set[00:01:25]
He was tooting with skill[00:01:29]
For each sparkling quadrille[00:01:31]
Though the dancers were flutherd and bet[00:01:33]
With his smart witty talk[00:01:37]
He was cock of the walk[00:01:38]
As he rolled the dames under and over[00:01:41]
They all knew at a glance[00:01:44]
When he took up his stance[00:01:47]
That he sailed in the irish rover[00:01:48]
We had sailed seven years[00:02:00]
When the measles broke out[00:02:02]
And the ship lost it's way in the fog[00:02:04]
And that whale of a crew[00:02:08]
Was reduced down to two[00:02:10]
Just myself and the captain's old dog[00:02:11]
Then the ship struck a rock[00:02:15]
Oh lord what a shock[00:02:17]
The bulkhead was turned right over[00:02:19]
Turned nine times around[00:02:23]
And the poor old dog was drowned[00:02:25]
And the las of the irish rover[00:02:27]
Then the ship struck a rock[00:02:31]
Oh lord what a shock[00:02:33]
The bulkhead was turned right over[00:02:35]
Turned nine times around[00:02:39]
And the poor dog was drowned[00:02:41]
I'm the last of the Irish Rover[00:02:45]
