\[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 |

|
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} |
||||
