[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - The Clancy Brothers

[00:00:04] In the year of our lord eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:08] We set sail from the port quay of cork

[00:00:12] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:15] For the grand city hall of new york

[00:00:19] We'd a nearleaking craft it was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:23] And how the trade winds drove her

[00:00:26] She had twenty-three masts and she stood several blasts

[00:00:30] And they called her the irish rover

[00:00:35] There was bobby mcgee from the banks of the leith

[00:00:38] There was hogan from county tyrone

[00:00:42] There was john d mcgirk who was scared stiff of work

[00:00:45] And a chap from westmeath named malone

[00:00:49] There was Slugger o'toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:00:53] And fighting bill tracy from dover

[00:00:56] And a man mick mccann from the banks of the bann

[00:01:00] Was the skipper of the irish rover

[00:01:04] We had one million bags of the best sligo rags

[00:01:08] We had two million barrels of pone

[00:01:11] We had three million bales of old nanny goats tails

[00:01:15] We had four million barrels of stone

[00:01:18] We had five million hogs

[00:01:20] And six million dogs

[00:01:22] Seven million barrels of porter

[00:01:26] We had eight million sides of poor blind horses hides

[00:01:29] In the hold of the irish rover

[00:01:34] We had sailed seven years when the mizzens broke out

[00:01:37] And the ship lost her way in the fog

[00:01:41] And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two

[00:01:45] Twas meself and the captain's old dog

[00:01:48] Well the ship struck a rock and lord what a shock

[00:01:52] I nearly tumbled over

[00:01:55] Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned

[00:02:05] I'm the last of the irish rover
