The Irish Rover - Ronnie Drew/Davey Arthur[00:00:00]

On the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six[00:00:12]

We set sail from the sweet cove of cork[00:00:15]

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:19]

For the grand city hall in New York[00:00:22]

Towns a wonderful craft she was rigged fore-and-aft[00:00:25]

And oh how the wild winds drove her[00:00:29]

She'd got several blasts she'd twenty-seven masts[00:00:32]

And we called her the Irish rover[00:00:36]

We had one million bales of the best sligo rags[00:00:40]

We had two million barrels of stones[00:00:43]

We had three million sides of old blind horses hides[00:00:47]

We had four million barrels of bones[00:00:50]

We had five million hogs six million dogs[00:00:54]

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

We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails[00:01:01]

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

There was awl mickey cootie who played hard on his flute[00:01:08]

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

He was tooting with skill for each sparkling quadrille[00:01:15]

Though the dancers were flutter and bet[00:01:19]

With his sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk[00:01:22]

As he rolled the dames under and over[00:01:25]

They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance[00:01:29]

And he sailed in the Irish rover[00:01:32]

There was barney McGee from the banks of the lee[00:02:05]

There was hogan from county Tyrone[00:02:08]

There was jimmy McGuire who was scarred stiff of work[00:02:11]

And a man from west-neath called me alone[00:02:15]

There was slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule[00:02:18]

And fighting bill Tracey from Dover[00:02:22]

And your man mick McCain from the banks of the bane[00:02:25]

Was the skipper of the Irish rover[00:02:28]

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out[00:03:01]

And the ship lost it's way in a fog[00:03:04]

And that whale of the crew was reduced down to two[00:03:08]

Just myself and the captain's old dog[00:03:11]

Then the ship struck a rock oh lord what a shock[00:03:15]

The bulkhead was turned right over[00:03:18]

Turned nine times around and the poor dog was drowned[00:03:23]

I'm the last of the Irish rover[00:03:31]
