Lyrics The Irish Rover

On the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six

We set sail from the sweet Cobh of Cork

We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

For the grand city hall in New York

'Twas a wonderful craft she was rigged fore and aft

And oh how the wild wind drove her

She stood several blasts she had twenty seven masts

And they called her

The Irish Rover

We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags

We had two million barrels of stones

We had three million sides of a blind horses hides'

We had four million barrels of bones

We had five million hogs six million dogs seven million barrels of Porter

We had eight million barrels of old nanny goate tails in the hold of The Irish Rover

There was awl Mickey Coote who played hard on his flute

And the ladies lined up for a set

He would tootle with skill for each sparkling quadrille though the dancers were fluther'd and bet

With his smart witty talk he was cock of the walk

He rolled the dames under and over

They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance

That he sailed in

The Irish Rover

There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee

There was Hogan from County Tyrone

There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work

And a man from

Westmeath called Malone

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

And fighting Bill Tracy from Dover

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

The Irish Rover

We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out

And the ship lost its way in the fog

And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two

Just myself and the captain's old dog

Then the ship struck a rock

Oh Lord, what a shock

The bulkhead was turned right over

Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned

I'm the last of The Irish Rover
