The Irish Rover - Tommy Makem/Peg Clancy Power[00:00:00]

In the year of our Lord[00:00:04]

Eighteen hundred and six[00:00:06]

We set sail from the Coal Quay 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]

We'd an elegant craft[00:00:19]

It was rigged 'fore and aft[00:00:21]

And how the trade winds drove her[00:00:23]

She had twenty-three masts[00:00:27]

And she stood several blasts[00:00:29]

And they called her the Irish Rover[00:00:31]

There was Barney Magee[00:00:35]

From the banks of the Lee[00:00:37]

There was Hogan from County Tyrone[00:00:39]

There was Johnny McGurk[00:00:43]

Who was scared stiff of work[00:00:45]

And a chap from Westmeath named Malone[00:00:47]

There was Slugger O'Toole[00:00:50]

Who was drunk as a rule[00:00:52]

And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover[00:00:54]

And your man Mick McCann[00:00:58]

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

Was the skipper on the Irish Rover[00:01:02]

We had one million bags[00:01:06]

Of the best Sligo rags[00:01:08]

We had two million barrells of bone[00:01:10]

We had three million bales[00:01:14]

Of old nanny goats' tails[00:01:16]

We had four million barrells of stone[00:01:18]

We had five million hogs and six million dogs[00:01:22]

And seven million barrells of porter[00:01:25]

We had eight million sides[00:01:29]

Of old blind horses' hides[00:01:31]

In the hold of the Irish Rover[00:01:33]

We had sailed seven years[00:01:38]

When the measles broke out[00:01:40]

And our ship lost her way in a fog[00:01:41]

And the whole of the crew[00:01:45]

Was reduced down to two[00:01:47]

'Twas myself and the captain's old dog[00:01:49]

Then the ship struck a rock[00:01:53]

Oh Lord what a shock[00:01:55]

And nearly tumbled over[00:01:57]

Turned nine times around[00:02:00]

Then the poor old dog was drowned[00:02:02]

I'm the last of the Irish Rover[00:02:07]
