《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - The Pogues

[00:00:07] On the fourth of july eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:11] We set sail from the sweet cove of cork

[00:00:14] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:18] For the grand city hall in new york

[00:00:21] Towas a wonderful craft she was rigged fore-and-aft

[00:00:25] And oh how the wild winds drove her

[00:00:28] She'd got several blasts she'd twenty-seven masts

[00:00:32] And we called her the irish rover

[00:00:36] We had one million bales of the best sligo rags

[00:00:39] We had two million barrels of stones

[00:00:43] We had three million sides of old blind horses hides

[00:00:46] We had four million barrels of bones

[00:00:50] We had five million hogs six million dogs

[00:00:53] Seven million barrels of porter

[00:00:56] We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails

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

[00:01:04] There was awl mickey coote who played hard on his flute

[00:01:08] When the ladies lined up for his set

[00:01:11] He was tooting with skill for each sparkling quadrille

[00:01:14] Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet

[00:01:18] With his sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk

[00:01:21] As he rolled the dames under and over

[00:01:25] They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance

[00:01:28] And he sailed in the irish rover

[00:02:01] There was barney mcgee from the banks of the lee

[00:02:04] There was hogan from county tyrone

[00:02:08] There was jimmy mcgurk who was scarred stiff of work

[00:02:11] And a man from westmeath called me alone

[00:02:14] There was slugger o'toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:02:18] And fighting bill tracey from dover

[00:02:21] And your man mick mccann from the banks of the bann

[00:02:25] Was the skipper of the irish rover

[00:02:29] We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out

[00:02:32] And the ship lost it's way in a fog

[00:02:36] And that whale of the crew was reduced down to two

[00:02:39] Just meself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:43] Then the ship struck a rock oh lord what a shock

[00:02:46] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:02:51] Turned nine times around and the poor dog was drowned

[00:03:00] I'm the last of the irish rover
