On the Fourth of July, 1806
On the Fourth of July, 1806
We set sail from the sweet cohb of Cork
We set sail from the sweet cohb of Cork
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks
For the Grand City Hall in New York
For the Grand City Hall in New York
'Twas a wonderful craft
'Twas a wonderful craft
She was rigged fore and aft
She was rigged fore and aft
And how the wild wind drove her
And how the wild wind drove her
She stood several blasts
She stood several blasts
She had twenty seven masts
She had twenty seven masts
And they called her the Irish rover
And they called her the Irish rover
We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stone
We had two million barrels of stone
We had three million bales of old nanny-goats' tails
We had three million bales of old nanny-goats' tails
We had four million barrels of bones
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
Seven million barrels of porter
Seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million sides of old blind horses hides
We had eight million sides of old blind horses hides
In the hold of the Irish rover
In the hold of the Irish rover
There was Barney McGee
There was Barney McGee
From the banks of the Lee
From the banks of the Lee
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Hogan from County Tyrone
There was Johnny McGurk
There was Johnny McGurk
Who was scared stiff of work
Who was scared stiff of work
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
And a man from Westmeath called Malone
There was Slugger O'Toole
There was Slugger O'Toole
Who was drunk as a rule
Who was drunk as a rule
And Fighting Bill Tracy from Dover
And Fighting Bill Tracy from Dover
And your man, Mick McCann
And your man, Mick McCann
From the banks of the Bann
From the banks of the Bann
Was the skipper of the Irish rover
Was the skipper of the Irish rover
We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stone
We had two million barrels of stone
We had three million bales of old nanny-goats' tails
We had three million bales of old nanny-goats' tails
We had four million barrels of bones
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
Seven million barrels of porter
Seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million sides of old blind horses hides
We had eight million sides of old blind horses hides
In the hold of the Irish rover
In the hold of the Irish rover
We had sailed seven years
We had sailed seven years
When the measles broke out
When the measles broke out
And the ship lost its way in the fog
And the ship lost its way in the fog
And that whale of a crew
And that whale of a crew
Was reduced down to two
Was reduced down to two
Just myself and the Captain's old dog
Just myself and the Captain's old dog
Then the ship struck a rock
Then the ship hit a rock
what a shock
what a shock
The bulkhead was turned right over
The bulkhead was turned right over
Turned nine times around
Turned nine times around
And the poor old dog was drowned
And the poor old dog was drowned
I'm the last of The Irish rover
I'm the last of The Irish rover
We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had one million bags of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stone
We had two million barrels of stone
We had three million bales of old nanny-goats' tails
We had three million bales of old nanny-goats' tails
We had four million barrels of bones
We had four million barrels of bones
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
We had five million hogs and six million dogs
Seven million barrels of porter
Seven million barrels of porter
We had eight million sides of old blind horses hides
We had eight million sides of old blind horses hides
In the hold of the Irish rover
In the hold of the Irish rover
