[00:09.77]On the fourth of July 1806
[00:13.31]We set sail from the sweet Cove of Cork
[00:16.88]We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
[00:20.56]For the Grand City Hall in New York
[00:24.30]'Twas a wonderful craft she was rigged fore and aft
[00:28.17]And oh how the wild wind drove her
[00:31.91]She stood several blasts had 27 masts
[00:35.52]And they called her the Irish Rover
[00:40.92]We had one million bags of the finest Sligo rags
[00:44.49]We had two million barrels of stone
[00:48.12]We had three million sides of old blind horses hides
[00:51.79]We had four million barrels of bones
[00:55.47]We had five million hogs and six million dogs
[00:59.47]Seven million barrels of porter
[01:02.88]We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails
[01:06.49]In the hold of the Irish Rover
[01:26.71]There was awl Mickey Coote who played hard on his flute
[01:30.19]When the ladies lined up for a set
[01:33.91]He was tootin' with skill for each sparkling quadrille
[01:37.58]Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
[01:41.31]With his smart witty talk he was cock of the walk
[01:44.98]And he rolled the dames under and over
[01:48.74]They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance
[01:52.35]That he sailed in the Irish Rover
[01:57.92]There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee
[02:01.48]There was Hogan from County Tyrone
[02:05.11]There was Johnny McGurk who was scared stiff of work
[02:08.69]And a man from Westmeath called Malone
[02:12.38]There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule
[02:16.23]And fighting Bill Treacy from Dover
[02:19.77]And your man Mick MacCann from the banks of the Bann
[02:23.35]Was the skipper of the Irish Rover
[02:43.58]We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
[02:47.00]And the ship lost it's way in the fog
[02:50.71]And that whale of a crew was reduced down to two
[02:54.28]Just myself and the Captain's old dog
[02:57.85]Then the ship struck a rock oh Lord What a shock
[03:01.79]The bulkhead was turned right over
[03:06.29]Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned
[03:11.78]And I'm the last of the Irish Rover
[03:15.44]I'm the last of the Irish Rover
