The Irish Rover - Tommy Makem/The Dubliners[00:00:00]

In the year of our Lord [00:00:06]

Eighteen hundred and six [00:00:07]

We set sail from the Coal Quay of Cork[00:00:09]

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:13]

For the grand City Hall in New York[00:00:17]

We'd an elegant craft [00:00:20]

It was rigged 'fore and aft[00:00:22]

And how the trade winds drove her[00:00:24]

She had twenty-three masts[00:00:28]

And she stood several blasts[00:00:30]

And they called her the Irish Rover[00:00:32]

We had Barney Magee[00:00:36]

From the banks of the Lee[00:00:38]

There was Hogan from County Tyrone[00:00:40]

And we have Johnny McGurk[00:00:44]

Who was scared stiff of work[00:00:46]

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

We have Slugger O'Toole[00:00:51]

Who was drunk as a rule[00:00:53]

And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover[00:00:55]

And your man Mick McCann [00:00:59]

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

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

We had one million bags[00:01:07]

Of the best Sligo rags[00:01:09]

We had two million barrells of bone[00:01:11]

We had three million bales[00:01:15]

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[00:01:26]

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[00:01:52]

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[00:02:03]

Then the ship struck a rock [00:02:07]

Oh Lord what a shock[00:02:09]

And nearly tumbled over[00:02:11]

Turned nine times around[00:02:15]

And the poor old dog was drowned[00:02:18]

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