《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - The Houghton Weavers

[00:00:04] In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:08] We set sail from the cove of Cork

[00:00:12] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:16] For the grand city hall in New York

[00:00:20] We'd a nearleaking craft she was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:25] And how the trade winds drove her

[00:00:29] She had twenty three masts and she stood several blasts

[00:00:33] And they called her the Irish Rover

[00:00:38] There was Bobby Mcgee from the Banks of the Lee

[00:00:43] There was Hogan from county Tyrone

[00:00:47] There was Johnny Mcgurk who was scared stiff of work

[00:00:51] And a man from west meath named Malone

[00:00:55] There was Slugger O'toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:01:00] And fighting bill Tracy from Dover

[00:01:03] And a man Mick Mccann from the banks of the Bann

[00:01:08] Was the skipper of the Irish Rover

[00:01:12] We had one million bags of the best sligo rags

[00:01:17] We had two million barrels of bone

[00:01:21] We had three million bales of old Nanny goats tails

[00:01:25] We had four million barrels of stone

[00:01:29] We had five million hogs

[00:01:32] Six million dogs

[00:01:34] Seven million barrels of porter

[00:01:38] We had eight million sides of blind horses hides

[00:01:42] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:01:47] We had sailed seven years when the mizzens broke out

[00:01:51] And the ship lost her way in the fog

[00:01:56] And the whale of a crew was reduced down to two

[00:02:00] T'was meself and the captain's old dog

[00:02:04] Well the ship struck a rock and Lord what a shock

[00:02:08] I nearly tumbled over

[00:02:12] Turned nine times around and the poor old dog was drowned

[00:02:21] I'm the last of the Irish Rover
