[00:15.42]On the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six
[00:18.27]We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork
[00:19.74]We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
[00:21.81]For the grad city hall in New York
[00:22.80]'T was a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore-and-aft
[00:24.39]And oh, how the wild winds drove her
[00:25.26]She got several blasts, she had twenty-seven masts
[00:27.30]And they called her the Irish Rover
[00:28.35]We had one million bales of the best Sligo rags
[00:30.00]We had two million barrels of rum
[00:31.35]We had three million sides of old blind horses hides
[00:32.91]We had four million barrels of bones
[00:34.26]We had five million hogs, six million dogs
[00:35.46]Seven million barrels of porter
[00:45.69]We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails
[00:46.83]In the hold of the Irish Rover
[00:47.82]There was awl Mickey Coote who playes hard on his flute
[00:50.28]When the ladies lined up for his set
[00:51.18]He would tootle with skill for each sparkling quadrille
[00:52.62]Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
[00:53.82]With his sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk
[00:55.83]As he rolled the dames under and over
[00:57.87]And they knew at a glance when he took up his stance
[00:59.67]They sailed in the Irish Rover
[01:01.26]There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee
[01:02.82]There was Hogan from County Tyrone
[01:04.23]There was Jimmy McGurk who was scarred stiff of work
[01:05.67]And a man from Westmeath called Malone
[01:06.75]There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule
[01:34.23]And fighthing Bill Tracey from Dover
[01:36.24]And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann
[01:38.28]Was the skipper of the Irish Rover
[01:40.17]We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out
[01:41.97]And the ship lost it's way in a fog
[01:44.10]And that whale of the crew was reduced down to two
[01:45.12]Just myself and the captain's old dog
[01:46.74]Then the ship struck a rock, oh Lord, what a shock!
[01:51.18]The bulkhead was turned right over
[01:52.41]Turned nine times around, and the poor dog was drowned
[01:54.03]I'm the last of the Irish Rover
