[00:00:00] Irish Rover - The Hit Co. (热歌公司)

[00:00:04] On the Fourth of July, 1806

[00:00:07] We set sail from the sweet Cove of Cork

[00:00:11] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:15] For the Grand City Hall in New York

[00:00:19] 'Twas a wonderful craft,

[00:00:21] She was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:23] And oh, how the wild wind drove her

[00:00:26] She stood several blasts,

[00:00:28] She had twenty seven masts

[00:00:30] And they called her The Irish Rover

[00:00:42] We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags

[00:00:46] We had two million barrels of stone

[00:00:50] We had three million sides

[00:00:52] Of old blind horses hides

[00:00:53] We had four million barrels of bones

[00:00:58] Five million hogs and six million dogs

[00:01:02] Seven million barrels of porter

[00:01:05] We had eight million bails

[00:01:07] Of old nanny goats' tails

[00:01:09] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:01:21] There was awl Mickey Coote

[00:01:23] Who played hard on his flute

[00:01:25] When the ladies lined up for a set

[00:01:28] He was tootin' with skill

[00:01:30] For each sparkling quadrille

[00:01:32] Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet

[00:01:36] With his smart witty talk,

[00:01:38] He was cock of the walk

[00:01:40] And he rolled the dames under and over

[00:01:44] They all knew at a glance

[00:01:46] When he took up his stance

[00:01:48] That he sailed in The Irish Rover

[00:02:00] We had sailed seven years

[00:02:01] When the measles broke out

[00:02:03] And the ship lost it's way in the fog

[00:02:07] And that whale of a crew

[00:02:09] Was reduced down to two

[00:02:11] Just myself and the Captain's old dog

[00:02:15] Then the ship struck a rock,

[00:02:17] Oh Lord! What a shock

[00:02:19] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:02:23] Turned nine times around

[00:02:24] And the poor old dog was drowned

[00:02:27] And I'm the last of The Irish Rover

[00:02:31] Then the ship struck a rock,

[00:02:32] Oh Lord! What a shock

[00:02:34] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:02:38] Turned nine times around

[00:02:40] And the poor old dog was drowned

[00:02:45] And I'm the last of The Irish Rover
