\beginverse |
|||
\[Sol]On the fourth of July |
|||
Eighteen hundred and \[Do]six |
|||
We set \[Sol]sail from the sweet cove of \[Ré]Cork |
|||
We were \[Sol]sailing away |
|||
With a cargo of \[Do]bricks |
|||
For the \[Sol]grand city \[Ré]hall in New \[Sol]York |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
\beginverse* |
|||
It was an \[Sol]wonderful craft |
|||
She was \[Ré]rigged fore and aft |
|||
And oh, \[Sol]how the wild wind \[Ré]drove her |
|||
She stood \[Sol]several blasts |
|||
She had \[Do]twenty seven masts |
|||
And they \[Sol]called her the \emph{Irish \[Ré]Ro\[Sol]ver} |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
\beginverse |
|||
We had one million bags |
|||
Of the best Sligo rags |
|||
We had two million barrels of stone |
|||
We had three million sides |
|||
Of old blind horses hides |
|||
We had four million barrels of bones |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
\beginverse* |
|||
We had five million hogs |
|||
And six million dogs |
|||
Seven million barrels of porter |
|||
We had eight million bails |
|||
Of old nanny-goats' tails |
|||
In the hold of the \emph{Irish Rover} |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
\beginverse |
|||
There was awl Mickey Coote |
|||
Who played hard on his flute |
|||
When the ladies lined up for a set |
|||
He was tootin' with skill |
|||
For each sparkling quadrille |
|||
Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
\beginverse* |
|||
With his smart witty talk |
|||
He was cock of the walk |
|||
And he rolled the dames under and over |
|||
They all knew at a glance |
|||
When he took up his stance |
|||
That he sailed in the \emph{Irish Rover} |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
\beginverse |
|||
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 |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
\beginverse* |
|||
There was Slugger O'Toole |
|||
Who was drunk as a rule |
|||
And Fighting Bill Treacy from Dover |
|||
And your man, Mick MacCann |
|||
From the banks of the Bann |
|||
Was the skipper of the \emph{Irish Rover} |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
|
|||
\beginverse |
|||
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 |
|||
\endverse |
|||
|
|||
\beginverse* |
|||
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 |
|||
And the las of the \emph{Irish Rover} |
