《The Irish Rover》歌词

[00:00:00] The Irish Rover - The High Kings

[00:00:24] In the Year of our Lord

[00:00:26] Eighteen hundred and six

[00:00:28] We set sail from the coal quay of Cork

[00:00:32] We were sailing away with a cargo of bricks

[00:00:36] For the Grand City Hall of New York

[00:00:40] We had an elegant craft

[00:00:41] She was rigged fore and aft

[00:00:44] And oh how the wild winds drove her

[00:00:47] She had twenty seven masts

[00:00:49] And withstood several blasts

[00:00:51] And they called her The Irish Rover

[00:01:02] There was Barney McGee

[00:01:04] From the banks of the Lee

[00:01:06] There was Hogan from County Tyrone

[00:01:09] There was Charlie McGurk

[00:01:11] Who was scared stiff of work

[00:01:13] And a chap from Westmeath

[00:01:15] Called Malone

[00:01:17] There was Slugger O'Toole

[00:01:19] Who was drunk as a rule

[00:01:21] And Fighting Bill Tracy from Dover

[00:01:25] And your man Mick McCann

[00:01:27] From the banks of the Bann

[00:01:29] Was the skipper of the Irish Rover

[00:01:39] Well we had five million

[00:01:40] Bags of the best Sligo rags

[00:01:43] We had six million barrels of stones

[00:01:47] And we had seven million

[00:01:48] Bales of old nanny goats tails

[00:01:50] We had eight million barrels of bones

[00:01:55] We had nine million hogs

[00:01:57] Ten million dogs

[00:01:59] Eleven million barrels of porter

[00:02:02] And we had twelve million

[00:02:03] Sides of old blind horses' hides

[00:02:06] In the hold of the Irish Rover

[00:02:45] We had sailed seven years

[00:02:47] When the measles broke out

[00:02:49] And the ship lost its way in a fog

[00:02:52] And that whole of the crew

[00:02:54] Was reduced down to two

[00:02:56] Just myself and the Captain's old dog

[00:03:00] Well the ship struck a rock

[00:03:02] Oh Lord what a shock

[00:03:04] The boat she turned right over

[00:03:07] She turned nine times around

[00:03:09] And the poor old dog was drowned

[00:03:15] I'm the last of The Irish Rover
