\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}
|
