《The Irish Rover》歌词

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

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

[00:00:07] Eighteen hundred and six

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:36] We had Barney Magee

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

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

[00:00:43] And we have Johnny McGurk

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:16] Of old nanny goats' tails

[00:01:18] We had four million barrells of stone

[00:01:22] We had five million hogs and six million dogs

[00:01:26] And seven million barrells of porter

[00:01:29] We had eight million sides

[00:01:31] Of old blind horses' hides

[00:01:33] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:01:52] We had sailed seven years

[00:01:54] When the measles broke out

[00:01:56] And our ship lost her way in a fog

[00:02:00] And the whole of the crew

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

[00:02:03] 'Twas myself and the captain's old dog

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

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

[00:02:11] And nearly tumbled over

[00:02:15] Turned nine times around

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

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