《The Irish Rover(feat. The Dubliners)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - The Pogues

[00:00:09] On the fourth of July eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:12] We set sail from the sweet cove of Cork

[00:00:15] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:19] For the grand city hall in New York

[00:00:22] Towas a wonderful craft, she was rigged fore-and-aft

[00:00:26] And oh, how the wild winds drove her.

[00:00:29] She'd got several blasts, she'd twenty-seven masts

[00:00:32] And we called her the Irish Rover.

[00:00:37] We had one million bales of the best Sligo rags

[00:00:40] We had two million barrels of stones

[00:00:44] We had three million sides of old blind horses hides,

[00:00:47] We had four million barrels of bones.

[00:00:51] We had five million hogs, we had six million dogs,

[00:00:54] Seven million barrels of porter.

[00:00:57] We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails,

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

[00:01:05] There was awl Mickey Coote who played hard on his flute

[00:01:08] When the ladies lined up for his set

[00:01:12] He was tooting with skill for each sparkling quadrille

[00:01:15] Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet

[00:01:18] With his sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk

[00:01:22] As he rolled the dames under and over

[00:01:26] They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance

[00:01:29] And he sailed in the Irish Rover

[00:02:02] There was Barney McGee from the banks of the Lee,

[00:02:05] There was Hogan from County Tyrone

[00:02:08] There was Jimmy McGurk who was scarred stiff of work

[00:02:12] And a man from Westmeath called Malone

[00:02:15] There was Slugger O'Toole who was drunk as a rule

[00:02:19] And fighting Bill Tracey from Dover

[00:02:22] And your man Mick McCann from the banks of the Bann

[00:02:26] Was the skipper of the Irish Rover

[00:02:58] We had sailed seven years when the measles broke out

[00:03:01] And the ship lost it's way in a fog.

[00:03:05] And that whale of the crew was reduced down to two,

[00:03:08] Just meself and the captain's old dog.

[00:03:12] Then the ship struck a rock, oh Lord what a shock

[00:03:15] The bulkhead was turned right over

[00:03:20] Turned nine times around, and the poor dog was drowned

[00:03:28] I'm the last of the Irish Rover
