Irish Rover - Shannon Singers[00:00:00]

In the year of our Lord [00:00:08]

Eighteen hundred and six [00:00:10]

We set sail from the Coal Quay of Cork[00:00:12]

We were sailing away with[00:00:16]

A cargo of bricks[00:00:18]

For the grand City Hall in New York[00:00:20]

We'd an elegant craft [00:00:24]

It was rigged 'fore and aft[00:00:26]

And oh how the wild wind drove her[00:00:28]

She stood several blasts[00:00:32]

She had twenty-three masts[00:00:34]

And they called her the Irish Rover[00:00:36]

We had one million bags[00:00:40]

Of the best Sligo rags[00:00:42]

We had two million barrells of bone[00:00:44]

We had three million bales[00:00:48]

Of old nanny goats' tails[00:00:50]

We had four million barrells of stone[00:00:52]

We had five million hogs[00:00:56]

And six million dogs[00:00:58]

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

We had eight million sides[00:01:04]

Of old blind horses' hides[00:01:06]

In the hold of the Irish Rover[00:01:08]

There was Barney Magee from[00:01:20]

The banks of the Lee[00:01:22]

There was Hogan from County Tyrone[00:01:24]

There was Johnny McGurk[00:01:28]

Who was scared stiff of work[00:01:30]

And a chap from Westmeath named Malone[00:01:32]

There was Slugger O'Toole[00:01:36]

Who was drunk as a rule[00:01:38]

And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover[00:01:40]

And your man Mick McCann [00:01:44]

From the banks of the Bann[00:01:46]

Was the skipper on the Irish Rover[00:01:48]

We had sailed seven years[00:01:52]

When the measles broke out[00:01:54]

And our ship lost her way in a fog[00:01:56]

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

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

'Twas myself and the captain's old dog[00:02:04]

Then the ship struck a rock [00:02:08]

Oh Lord what a shock[00:02:10]

And nearly tumbled over[00:02:12]

Turned nine times around[00:02:16]

Then the poor old dog was drowned[00:02:19]

I'm the last of the Irish Rover[00:02:23]
