Irish Rover (Live) - The Clancy Brothers[00:00:00]

And the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and six[00:00:02]

We set sail from the port quay of Cork[00:00:05]

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks[00:00:09]

For the grand City Hall in New York[00:00:13]

We'd a near-leaking craft she was rigged fore and aft[00:00:16]

And how the trade winds drove her[00:00:20]

She had twenty-three masts and she stood several blasts[00:00:24]

And they called her the Irish Rover[00:00:27]

And there was Bobby McGee from the banks of the Leith[00:00:32]

There was Hogan from county Tyrone[00:00:36]

There was John D McGirk who was scared stiff of work[00:00:39]

And a chap from Westmeath named Malone[00:00:43]

We had Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule[00:00:46]

And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover[00:00:50]

And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann[00:00:54]

Was the skipper of the Irish Rover[00:00:57]

We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags[00:01:02]

We had two million barrels of bone[00:01:06]

We had three million bales of old nanny goats' tails[00:01:09]

We had four million barrels of stone[00:01:13]

We had five million hogs and six million dogs[00:01:16]

Seven million barrels of porter[00:01:20]

We had eight million sides of old blind horses' hides[00:01:23]

In the hold of the Irish Rover[00:01:27]

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out[00:01:32]

And the ship lost her way in the fog the fog[00:01:35]

And the whale of the crew was reduced down to two[00:01:39]

'Twas meself and the captain's old dog[00:01:43]

Then the ship hit a rock oh Lord what a shock[00:01:46]

I nearly tumbled over[00:01:50]

Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned[00:01:54]

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