Lyrics The Irish Rover

Hey

In the year of our Lord

In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and six eighteen hundred and six

We set sail from the coal quay

We set sail from the coal quay of Cork of Cork

We were sailin' away

We were sailin' away with a cargo of bricks with a cargo of bricks

For the Grand City Hall

For the Grand City Hall of New York of New York

We had an elegant craft

She was rigged fore and aft

And oh how the wild winds

And oh how the wild winds drove her drove her

She had twenty seven masts

She had twenty seven masts and withstood several blasts and withstood several blasts

And they called her

The Irish Rover

Hey

There was Barney McGee

There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee from the banks of the Lee

There was Hogan

There was Hogan from County Tyrone from County Tyrone

There was Charlie McGurk

There was Charlie McGurk who was scared stiff of work who was scared stiff of work

And a chap from Westmeath

And a chap from Westmeath called Malone called Malone

There was Slugger O'Toole

There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule who was drunk as a rule

And Fightin' Bill Tracy

And Fightin' Bill Tracy from Dover from Dover

And your man Mick McCann

And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann from the banks of the Bann

Was the skipper of

The Irish Rover

Hey

Well we had five million bags

Well we had five million bags of the best Sligo rags of the best Sligo rags

We had six million barrels

We had six million barrels of stones of stones

And we had seven million bales

And we had seven million bales of old nanny goats tails of old nanny goats tails

We had eight million barrels

We had eight million barrels of bones of bones

We had nine million hogs

Ten million dogs

Eleven million barrels

Eleven million barrels of porter of porter

And we had twelve million sides

And we had twelve million sides of old blind horses' hides of old blind horses' hides

In the hold of

The Irish Rover

Yanenemo nemo

Oh oh

We had sailed seven years

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out when the measles broke out

And the ship lost its way

And the ship lost its way in a fog in a fog

And that whole of the crew

And that whole of the crew was reduced down to two was reduced down to two

Just myself and the Captain's

Just myself and the Captain's old dog old dog

Well the ship struck a rock

Lord what a shock

Well the ship struck a rock

Lord what a shock

The boat she turned right over

She turned nine times around and the poor old dog

She turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned was drowned

I'm the last of

The Irish Rover

Hey
