《Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] Irish Rover - Hawkers/Tramps

[00:00:00] On the year of our Lord 1806

[00:00:07] We set sail from the sweet cove of cork

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

[00:00:20] For the grand city hall in new york

[00:00:26] 'Twas a wonderful craft

[00:00:30] She was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:33] And how the treat wind drove her

[00:00:40] She had twenty seven masts and several blasts

[00:00:46] And they called her the irish rover

[00:00:52] There was barney mcgee

[00:00:56] From the banks of the lee

[00:00:59] There was hogan from County tyrone

[00:01:04] There was johnny mcgurk

[00:01:08] Who was scared stiff of work

[00:01:11] And a man from westmeath called malone

[00:01:17] There was slugger o'toole

[00:01:20] Who was drunk as a rule

[00:01:23] And fighting bill treacy from dover

[00:01:29] And your man mick maccann

[00:01:32] From the banks of the bann

[00:01:35] Was the skipper of the irish rover

[00:01:41] We had one million bags of the best sligo rags

[00:01:47] We had two million barrels of stone

[00:01:52] We had three million sides of old blind horses hides

[00:01:58] We had four million barrels of bones

[00:02:04] We had five million hogs

[00:02:07] We had six million dogs

[00:02:10] And seven million barrels of porter

[00:02:16] We had three million sides of old blind horses hides

[00:02:22] In the hold of the irish rover

[00:02:27] Well

[00:02:28] We had sailed seven years

[00:02:31] When the measles broke out

[00:02:33] And the ship lost it's way in the fog

[00:02:39] And that whale of a crew

[00:02:42] Was reduced down to two

[00:02:45] Just myself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:50] Then the ship struck a rock

[00:02:53] Oh lord what a shock

[00:02:56] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:03:02] Turned nine times around

[00:03:04] And the poor old dog was drowned

[00:03:07] And the las of the irish rover
