《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - Tommy Makem

[00:00:03] And the year of our lord eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:07] We set sail from the port quay of cork

[00:00:11] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:15] For the grand city hall in new york

[00:00:19] We'd a near-leaking craft she was rigged fore

[00:00:22] And aft and how the trade winds drove her

[00:00:27] She had twenty-three masts and she stood several blasts

[00:00:30] And they called her the irish rover and

[00:00:36] There was bobby mcgee from the banks of the leith

[00:00:39] There was hogan from county tyrone there was john

[00:00:44] D mcgirk who was scared stiff of work and a chap from westmeath

[00:00:49] Named malone there was slugger o'toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:00:54] And fighting bill tracy from dover and your man mick mccann from the banks

[00:01:01] Of the bann was the skipper of the irish rover

[00:01:07] We had one million bags of the best sligo rags

[00:01:10] We had two million barrels of bone

[00:01:14] We had three million bales of old nanny goats' tails

[00:01:18] We had four million barrels of stone

[00:01:22] We had five million hogs and six million dogs seven million

[00:01:27] Barrels of porter we had eight million sides of old blind horses' hides

[00:01:33] In the hold of the irish rover we had sailed seven years

[00:01:39] When the measles broke out and the ship lost her way in the fog

[00:01:46] And the whale of the crew was reduced down to two 'twas meself

[00:01:50] And the captain's old dog then the ship hit a rock oh lord

[00:01:56] What a shock I nearly tumbled over turned nine times around

[00:02:02] And the poor old dog was drowned I'm the last of the irish rover
